Description

YUI library included with Wicket Extensions - DateTime (and potentially others) is the version 2.3.0 which has compatability issues with Internet Explorer 8. The recommended version of YUIlib which is IE8 compliant is 2.7.0.

The specific issue I hit was DateTimeField causing block on loading almost random resources on my page, after a while IE8 reported the following error:
