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

It doesn't look like you're doing anything wrong since the ValidatorOnChange code is generated for you; there's something wrong in the way it's creating its vals object which appears to end up null on ie8.

It's been asked before, and the solution is overriding the onSelect function with a no-op function.

This is not the only kind of validator problem out there. Here's a vaguely similar issue with the autocomplete feature.
