Description

For some reason, the date picker throws an exception in IE in my app. Works fine in Firefox. I patched DatePicker.js by adding a try/catch block around the following code and it fixed the problem for me (and the calendar works). Just FYI, I had to add this same patch to MyFaces popup calendar component too.

try {
do

{ aTag = aTag.offsetParent; leftpos += aTag.offsetLeft; toppos += aTag.offsetTop; }

while(aTag.tagName!="BODY");
} catch (ex)

{ // ignore }
