I am creating a search form in which I let the user optionally specify a datetime range to be used to filter results. The plan was to check whether the user choose a date, and if that's the case, add a filter to the search query.
Problem is: if the user clicks on the datetime field, or even tabs into
it, a date is automatically filled in, and apparently there's no way to
blank the field again without refreshing the page (and, from the user
perspective, no way at all if I use GET and then populate form defaults
from request.vars...).
Is there an hidden way to blank datetime fields, or it just cannot be
done? It would be nice to have a "clear field" button, or so..
Also, I'm not sure that opening the date selector on focus (that is,
even when accessing with tab) is the most accessible way (it requires 6
more Tab presses to get on the next field..).
