Jquery datepicker popup not closing on select date in IE8

Question

I\'ve got a web form with a start date field. I\'ve tied a jquery datepicker to the txt field. Now when I choose a date in FF, the selected date is populated in the text box

Answer 1

The solutions provided above only prevents the error from occurring.

On the datepicker:

onSelect : function(dateText, inst){ inst.input.trigger('cValidate')

and bind the event to the calendar input element.

.bind('cValidate', function (event) { window.ValidatorOnChange(event); });

this will fire the validatorchanged event with the correct event args (input field).
