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

change jquery.ui.datepicker.js line 1504

'" href="#"  >' + printDate.getDate() + '')

with

'" href="javascript:DP_jQuery_' + dpuuid + '.datepicker._selectDay(\'#' +
       inst.id + '\',' + printDate.getMonth() + ',' + printDate.getFullYear() + ', this);"  >' + printDate.getDate() + '')

test works OK!
