Today's button delete the date value

[jlemale]

With the parameter todayBtn: "linked"
if you click on Today, it displays the current day BUT if it's already the current day or if you click twice on Today it deletes everything. I think it shouldn't do that.

You can reproduce it on the official demo :
http://eternicode.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/?markup=input&format=&weekStart=&startDate=&endDate=&startView=0&minViewMode=0&todayBtn=false&language=en&orientation=auto&multidate=&multidateSeparator=&keyboardNavigation=on&forceParse=on#sandbox

I agree.

On a side note, this happens even if you don't click on today, or if todayBtn is not set to "linked". When clicking on a day, if that day is already selected, the selection is toggled. This makes more sense if the datepicker is not set to autoclose, because you may want to toggle the selection by clicking on the same day. But, for example, when the datepicker closes itself, it's not the best behavior.

Maybe it would be useful to add an option?

i've implemented an option disableDateToggle to work as suggested.

This same issue means that when you type the date into the input (click on the input then start typing instead of using the calendar UI) and press enter, the date gets cleared (I can't think of any rationale for this to happen) and feels more like a bug than a feature.

Note that the commit 73da54b fixes the problem where typing the date and pressing enter causes the date to get deleted.

[dittodhole]

The simple reason is, that this component provides toggling of dates - which comes in handy when in multi-date-mode: I click on Monday, Tuesday, then I say "well, Monday was wrong" and click on Monday again and it gets cleared.

And in single-date-mode there are ways to "double click" too:

• type the date and click (each keydown triggers a parsing, which might set the value)
• type the date and enter (see above)
• double clicking on a date (when autoclose is set to false or reopening the dialog)

I've simply provided an option-property disableDateToggle to override this feature.

Someone, someday might think of a better way (eg natural behavior) for disabling the toggling (as mentioned before: does toggling in single-date-mode make sense?)
