Clear date in form

Hi,

I now have a working date on my form.
Looks very nice when there is a date value - date as a string (defaults
to today) alongside the calendar widget.

Now I need to add another date to the form, and entering a value in
this one will be optional.
My problem comes when a user selects a date with the widget, and then
decides they don't want to enter a date after all.

How do they clear it?

Thanks in advance
Colin

Good question. Ideally the date widget should provide a "clear"
functionality.

I entered a bug to track this new feature:

http://forge.objectweb.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=305200&group_id=168&atid=350207

Missing that, you can very easily add a "Clear" trigger next to it, that
does an <xforms:setvalue/> of the field value. That will clear the date.

Hi Colin
How did you implement this form? I have implemented the form to a point where I can copy date into the input field form from a selection made on the calendar. I do not like this approach at all. I think it was pretty heavy.However I would like the date format to be in military format - (yymmdd).
