In IE-8 error occur as "target.offsetWidth is null or not an object" - DatePicker

[pradeeph]

I am using Jquery: 1.7.1 jQuery UI: 1.8.17

IN IE-8 i am getting "target.offsetWidth is null or not an object" error.

I tryed to debug and fond that in jquery-1.7.1.js at Line number 3164 look like:

if ( ontype && elem[ type ] && ((type !== "focus" && type !== "blur")

event.target.offsetWidth !== 0) && !jQuery.isWindow( elem ) ) {

and my updated solution is

if ( ontype && elem[ type ] && ((type !== "focus" && type !== "blur")

( event.target != undefined && event.target.offsetWidth != undefined && event.target.offsetWidth != 'undefined' && event.target.offsetWidth !== 0)) && !jQuery.isWindow( elem ) ) {

Here event.target is getting undefined in IE-8

Html code to access datepicker <input type="date" value="2012-01-18" size="11" name="applicationdate" id="applicationdate" class="datepicker" required="required">

and Javascript code:

$('.datepicker').datepicker({

dateFormat : 'yy-mm-dd', changeMonth: true, changeYear: true, showButtonPanel: true, constrainInput : false

});

please correct me if i did some thing wrong. and make it available ASAP.
