I have an _edit and _new partial that has the same text fields. When I edit an object via ajax by rendering the edit partial, the date_select becomes the objects date. After the object is saved (updated) the _new partial replaces the edit partial and the date_select date is Still of the previous object. I would like the date_select to return to todays date when the _new partial is rendered. It does it of course when I refresh the page, but not with ajax. Any pointers?
This is what I'm using to clear one of the text fields: page << "$('payment_amount').value = ''"
How can I "clear" the date select to return to today's date?
