How do I clear/reset the selected dates on the jQuery UI Datepicker calendar?
I was trying to accomplish this very thing, that is, empty the datepicker so that filters entered by the user could be removed. Googling a bit I found this sweet piece of code:
You can add the clear feature even on read only fields. Just add the following code to your datepicker:
}).keyup(function(e) { if(e.keyCode == 8 || e.keyCode == 46) { $.datepicker._clearDate(this); }});People will be able to highlight (even Read Only fields) and then use backspace or delete key to remove the date using _clearDate function.
Did you try:
$('selector').datepicker('setDate', null);That should work according to the API documentation
you just need to set the options again to null:
dates.datepicker( "option" , { minDate: null, maxDate: null} );I've changed your jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tF5MH/9/
