IE7/8 Datepicker returns you to the top of a page

[ajacksified]

I have a datepicker in a dialog, and if I'm scrolled down in the window, open that dialog, and pick a date in IE7 and 8, I am returned to the top of the screen (the url being current + "#").

I can fix this by running:

$(".ui-datepicker-calendar a").live("click",function(event){ event.preventDefault(); })

I would suggest the datepicker date links preventDefault by default.
