Ticket #7623 is not fixed IE8 date picker does not close on selection

[jquery_user]

I am using jquery ui 1.0.3 and the issue mentioned in ticket #7623 still occurs

Steps:

1. Click on the textfield
2. The date picker pops open
3. select a date
4. the date picker closes but immediately reopens

Hope this issue can be resolved soon.

Thanks John

Unlike the simple example demonstrating date picker, my code has the following:

onSelect: function(dateText, inst) {

$(this).blur().change().focus();

}, onClose: function(selectedDate) {

angularjs code

}

This is not a bug. You're explicitly focusing the input again, which is the trigger for showing the datepicker.

For future reference it looks like you're trying to workaround #7765.
