Only change was to only use event.which == 8 for the delete key since backspace caused IE8 to navigate back (making it pointless.) Cheers. Thanks Sayed, that worked well.

$(“#datefld”).keydown(function(event)
{
//if “backspace” or “delete” key pressed…
if (event.which == 8 || event.which == 46)
{
$(this).val(“”);
}
}
);

The clear button is an absolute must. The so called work around that has been suggested by Scott (http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/3999#comment:10) is a fail, because the button disappears after you navigate between months. It should be easily possible to add this button back to the datepicker, but simply display it only when a certain configuration flag is set to true. Are the folks at jQuery really that ignorant? I find that hard to believe given what they are capable of making. I agree wholeheartedly with the above! The clear button is an absolute must.

Concerning the client/server side validation of the date: My approach has always been, and will always be, that while client-side validation is convenient for the user, you should always validate server-side too, and be prepared to handle any errors generated there. Never rely exclusively on client-side scripts for data validation. I would also like a clear button, preferably configurable to appear or not.

I think its a little ridiculous that the jQuery UI people don't think its necessary. Its a common use case I've seen many many times: The server requires dates in a specific format. So the field is set to read only, forcing the user to use the date picker. But once they select a date they can't clear it! I am having issues now in several areas of our site because user's can't clear the date. We have many search forms that use dates, sometimes they put in a date but later want to pull it out after doing several searches. Right now they have to refresh the whole page, loosing all their other search criteria. Does anyone have some example code showing how to add a clear button?
