Initialize jquery datepicker with empty value
This code still sets the field to date.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.date').datepicker({ dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy", changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true, yearRange: '1900:2020', defaultDate: ''
});
});
</script>
How to universally configure a field to run as empty?

If the field shows the date today, this is due to how the input field is filled. Datepicker will start with any value that the html element has, no matter what it is:
If you cannot control the value of the input field by changing the markup, but still the input field must be reset, you will have to do it manually:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.date').datepicker({ dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy", changeMonth: true,
changeYear: true, yearRange: '1900:2020'
}).val('');
});
