title: Initialize JQuery Datepicker with a blank value
body: <p>This code still sets the field to today's date</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      $(document).ready(function () {
          $('.date').datepicker({ dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy", changeMonth: true,
              changeYear: true, yearRange: '1900:2020', defaultDate: ''
          });
  
      });
  
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I universally configure the field to start as blank?  </p>
