Problem with showOn: 'button' in Internet Explorer 6 and 7

[johann.thorvaldur@…]

When using the UI datepicker 1.5. with jquery 1.2.6 I encountered a fatal javascript error in Internet Explorer 6 and 7

--------------------------- Error --------------------------- A Runtime Error has occurred.

Line: 1070 Error: Object doesn't support this action

This line number refers to JQuery 1.2.6, the uncompressed version

• $Date: 2008-05-24 14:22:17 -0400 (Sat, 24 May 2008) $
• $Rev: 5685 $

The error occurs when initializing the datepicker with the following code

$(function(){

$('#test_test').datepicker({

maxDate:new Date(9999,12-1, 31), minDate:new Date(1,1-1, 1), showOtherMonths:true, buttonText:'Choose a date', showOn:'button', dateFormat:'dd.mm.yyyy'

});

});

Everything works fine if I remove the showOn option or use JQuery 1.2.3.

Can't reproduce this with the latest versions in either IE6 or IE7.
