Child list blank option or clear button?

I need to be able to either have the Child list contain a blank value (ala an initially selected label with no value) or a link next to the Child field to blank the Child search value so the user can also return all of the Child results.

The Child Field initially starts off with a blank value option using: <option value="">Size</option>

But this is overridden when the user selects a Parent Value understandably.

Is there a way to hard code a blank valued option that is returned with the dynamic child options?

Most of the time users will need/want choose a child option but there are times when they want to return all of the selected parent results not filtered on only one child.

Hopefully all that made sense.

Thanks,
Jared

In the populate list from array behavior, set the "Leave Top" option to 1
