Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

$('.date').datepicker('setDate', null);

Answer 3

Reset the max date attributes on your datepicker when you click clear.

From jquery website

Get or set the maxDate option, after init.

    //getter
    var maxDate = $( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "maxDate" );
    //setter
    $( ".selector" ).datepicker( "option", "maxDate", '+1m +1w' );

Answer 4

you just need to set the options again to null:

dates.datepicker( "option" , {
    minDate: null,
    maxDate: null} );

Answer 5

Did you try:

$('selector').datepicker('setDate', null);

That should work according to the API documentation

In Firefox it does job for me in form (programmatically), where datepicker control is disabled by default:

$("#txtDat2").prop('disabled', false); //temporary enable controls<br>
$("#txtDat2").val("YYYY-MM-DD"); //reset date to dd.mm.yyyyy
$("#txtDat2").prop('disabled', true); //back to default state
