Answer 1

i searched high and low too, but after putting a few debug messages, the answer was obvious. What I noticed is that the onClose method has a "value" parameter which has the actual date which you select OR if you select nothing, it has the original value from your textbox. Set it as the value of the inputbox and walaaaa! problem solved.

If you don't do this, the current date will replace your original date when you just want to close the datetimepicker.

$('input.datetime').datetimepicker({
        ampm: true,
        timeFormat: 'hh:mm tt',
        addSliderAccess: true,
        sliderAccessArgs: { touchonly: false },
        onClose: function (value) {
                        $('input.datetime').val(value);
                    }
     });
