jQueryUI Date Picker showing on form submit in Google Chrome

Question

Hi,

I am using the jQueryUI Date Picker on one of my forms and if you select the field that I have attached the datepicker to, then select a date, then click "Submit" it should submit the form - which it does in IE but not in Chrome.

In Chrome, it re-opens the date picker and I have no idea why. I've put the following on pastebin to show the bug;

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening - it's been driving me mad!?

Cheers

DOH. After much testing I found that it wasn't working in Chrome because the attribute "maxlength" was set to 8 and the date field DD/MM/YYYY was 10 characters so Chrome must have been throwing a wobbler at that.

I'm so annoyed with myself.
