DatePicker: does not popup properly in IE6

Description

DatePicker doesn't work properly in IE 6.

It rises the Internet explorer up to 98% of the CPU recourses to open the calendar every time it tries to open it, therefore it takes a while before to pops the calendar up.

Is there any work around for this?

Thanks by the way for this great job you have done so far.

Do you have a testpage?

Hi joern,

Please use the date picker demo page(http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/) for a test.

It took about 400ms to show the calendar on my laptop.

I did some profiling, found that

_updateDatepicker
function was the problem.

After I removed event binding lines(see blow) in

_updateDatepicker
,it only took about 80ms to show the calendar.

Hope this will help.
