IE7-8: input that was added latest is used by all previous DPs

jQuery 1.10.2 jQueryUI 1.10.4 Browser: IE7-8 at least (Chrome fine) OS: Windows XP

Test case: ​https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87810751/jqueryui/datepicker.html

What happens: all datepickers use one input. What should happen: each datepicker should use corresponding to it input.

jQuery UI does not support cloning, and while this isn't strictly speaking a clone (i.e. you're not using the clone() method), copying the HTML of a widget is not a good idea. I am however confused why this only happens in IE7 and IE8. I feel like this has come up before.

I reduced this a bit: ​http://jsbin.com/jorug/1/edit. I'm not too concerned about this because it won't be an issue after the rewrite.

1. jsbin doesn't work in IE7 emulation.
2. What kind of rewrite do you suggest?

[tj.vantoll]

jsBin will work in IE7 if you drop the "/edit" off the URL. The rewrite for datepicker I am referring to is documented here: ​http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/12137778/Datepicker.

Ok, I've implemented a workaround to fix the problem. I copy HTML text before initialising datepickers and then append it to the table when needed.
