Clearing rich:calendar value

[shakenbrain]

This works in the demo application, but not in mine.

1. Select a date in the calendar control
2. Click the calendar icon again and click the small 'x'

In the online demo, this clears the value. In my application, the form submits and I'm redirected back to my application's root page. My interface code:

<h:form>
 <rich:calendar
 value="#{currentUser.lastConnected}"
 popup="true"
 datePattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>
 </h:form>

Any ideas? I'm using version 3.1.2 in a Seam application.

Well, I know what's causing the problem, but I don't know why. If I take the 'base' element out of the 'head' section, the control works as expected:

<base href="http://localhost:8080/tcsc/" />

Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Why are you need your base href on your page?

We can change this element to be rendered as span instead of a.. but you'll lose a styles.

I was using the base href as a convenience and, to work around this problem, removed it.
