DatePicker IE8 : bug

Description

I have got the following error message with IE8 and datepicker :

"Unable to activate the control because it is either invisible or inactive, is of a type not recognizing this feature"

File : jquery-1.7.2.js

Line : 3241

This bug is appearing when this part of code is trying to apply "focus()" on a disabled datePicker element.

When my page is loaded, I have a datepicker which is not disabled. But this datepicker appears in a pop-up (with div having display:none) and is shown when the pop-up appears. Information is loaded with ajax, but when information is loading, I disable all elements in the pop-up then enable them after ajax request successes.

I have temporary fixed this with the following test :

 
if(type == 'focus' && !$(elem).attr('disabled'))
                    {
                            elem[ type ]();
                    }

Best Regards.

Please provide a reduced test case (not using ajax) on jsFiddle or jsbin that shows what you're doing. If you're manually trying to open a datepicker on a disabled field, then that's an invalid use.
