datepicker taborder - focus problem internet explorer

[lankarden]

I've got a test case in jsFiddle to show the problem: ​http://jsfiddle.net/lankarden/9FtnW/

A default datepicker will break the taborder when the date is selected via the popup, in the test case, hitting the tab key after selecting the date with the mouse, will result in the first field of the form getting the focus.

I found a fix for this problem, but it creates another one: after selecting the date via the popup with the mouse, internet explorer (I use IE8, but i think the problem occurs in all versions) presents the popup again.

This also occurs in Chrome 10/Windows and FF3.5/Windows - I suspect this bug is not browser-specific and instead just a general bug in the code.

There's an if statement in there preventing the focus from being reestablished, probably to fix the issue you're describing with IE. There's a weird hack in the code to prevent the dialog from reappearing when a focus event happens and they don't mean it to trigger the dialog, except it fails in IE because IE queues up the focus event until after the current execution is done, so the hack doesn't work. Again, the current broken if statement is bypassing it. This essentually is a chicken and an egg problem which requires more thought before a solution is provided.

Duplicate of #7765.
The core issue here is that focus is not being placed back in the input.
