GWT 2.9.0 TextField clear option in Chrome and IE

[Hari]

Hi All, 

Recently we have upgraded GWT from 2.1.0 to 2.9.0 with GXT 2.3.1a (Officially unsupported), Most major issues have been fixed, how ever we are having an issue with TextField<String> which is generating an HTML input element with type=text, this field in IE is showing with an cross icon to clear the text, but the same is not happening in chrome,

IE

In our project CSS, we set display:none for the ::ms-clear pseudo element.

Actually my requirements are to add the clear button to the end on the textbox, I also tried adding textBox.getElement.setAttribute("type","search") but for some reason it is not working. Any help will be appreciated.
