title: How to avoid date-picker displaying default date (12/31/1969)?
body: <p>I've tried <code>defaultDate=""</code> property but it doesn't show even if I gave some value to the date picker?</p>
  
  <p>Here's my datepicker code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$this-&gt;widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDatePicker', array(
      'model'=&gt;$model,
      'attribute'=&gt;'date_healed',
      'value'=&gt;$date_healed,
      'name'=&gt;'date_healed'.$i,
      // additional javascript options for the date picker plugin
      'options'=&gt;array(
          //'autoSize'=&gt;true,
          'defaultDate'=&gt;"",                              
          'changeMonth'=&gt;'true', 
          'changeYear'=&gt;'true', 
          'yearRange'=&gt;Yii::app()-&gt;params['YearRange'], 
      ),
      'htmlOptions'=&gt;array('size'=&gt;'10')
  )); 
  </code></pre>
