Text box with a clear button inside in asp.net

Question

I have a lot on my site text boxes whose content is a date
So I will not have to check correctness did it read-only
Until now next to each text box was two buttons, one to add date opened popup calendar, second to delete the date (values not required)
Now I wanted to go to ajax calendarextender that the buttons were just ugly
My problem is that this control is not have delete button, and I do want to allow the user to deleted but not cancel the properties read-only to text box And I do not want to leave the ugly button.

My question:
If calendarextender ajax or something similar with a delete button from the popup
Alternatively if you have the option text box with a delete button inside( as text boxes IE10)

With the help of css and java-script you can easily do it.

Instead of all that work to make it read-only and avoid validation, why not combine a FilteredTextBoxExtender with the CalendarExtender. Use the filter to block all non-numeric characters. I still think it's better to do the validation. It's as simple as DateTime.TryParse(), or you could do it client-side with the built-in FieldValidators.
