jQuery Datepicker closes on click, IE6

Question

I'm using jQuery 1.3.2, with jQuery UI 1.7.1. I'm using a DatePicker attached to a text input field. It opens and renders fine in all browsers, and works perfectly in IE7, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. However, in IE6, when I click anywhere on it, it closes without performing any action. Also, none of the hover effects work (e.g. when hovering over the previous/next month buttons), so it looks like there's something over it that's preventing it from registering hover/click events. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

Answer 1

Are you certain the attachment to the text input is correct?

If so, another possibility is a conflict with a different javascript library. Are you using anything besides jQuery (eg mootools, script.aculo.us, etc.) on the page? Try creating a minimal example with just the datepicker.

I'm using jQuery and jQuery UI's DatePicker without any problems in IE6.

Answer 2

Encountered this as well. As far as I have deduced, it has something to do positioning of the elements, not necessarily the datepicker itself. Have you had any progress with this?
