jquery date range: input text box value is changed to null if date is not selected

[mannix]

I have enabled jquery date range picker on two input boxes to select start date & end date, by default value of startDateInput=Start Date and endDateInput=End Date. But when start input box is clicked and start date is selected, value written in endDateInput which is equal to End Date is changed to null. Script which i am using is below:startDate(Name of input box for selecting Start Date)endDate(Name of input box for selecting End Date)\[code\]$(function () { $("#startDate").datepicker({ defaultDate: "+1w", changeMonth: true, numberOfMonths: 1, minDate: new Date(2012, 11 - 1, 27), maxDate: -1, onClose: function (selectedDate) { $("#endDate").datepicker("option", "minDate", selectedDate); } }); $("#endDate").datepicker({ defaultDate: "+1w", changeMonth: true, numberOfMonths: 1, minDate: new Date(2012, 11 - 1, 28), maxDate: -1, onClose: function (selectedDate) { $("#startDate").datepicker("option", "maxDate", selectedDate); } });});\[/code\]
