Stop Automatic Entry Next / Previous Month Datetimepicker

I'm using Trent Richardson's great Datetimepicker. However, I'm running into a specific issue in which the plugin does not act like the traditional jQuery UI Datepicker.

When you start with a blank date, then press next or previous to change the month, in Datetimepicker it automatically inserts a date and time, where jQuery UI does not. The fact that it adds that is causing issues in my application, and I would just like it not to do that in the first place.

Here's my initialization:

 function datepickerAdd() {
        $('input[name=valueTextField]').addClass('datepicker');

                $( ".datepicker" ).datetimepicker({
                        dateFormat: 'm/d/yy ',
                        timeText: '<spring:message code='customMetaData.datetimepicker.time'/>',
                        controlType: 'select',
                        timeFormat: "h:mm TT",
                        ampm: true
                });
                $('input[name=valueTextField]').attr('onPaste', 'return false')
    }

Does anyone have anywhere to start with this?

There's no such option for Date, like alwaysSetTime for Time in this Datetimepicker. So you have to implement it by yourself. Just add these lines in your datetimepicker call:

    onChangeMonthYear: function(year, month, dpInst, tpInst) {
        if(!tpInst.timeDefined && !dpInst.dateDefined) {
            this.value = '';
            dpInst.dateDefined = null;
        }
    },
    onSelect: function(date, dpInst) {
        dpInst.dateDefined = true;
    }
