I'll try to be a bit contructive here:

I assigned DatePicker to all inputs like this:
new DatePicker($$('input.date'))

The first time I click on the input it works fine.
The close event (line 327) is called twice though on closing.

The second time the datepicker opens but yields an error on closing becouse frame.destroy==undefined.

I hope this helps somewhat.

p.s.
I have no choice but to use IE8 :(

Hi roosten, here is what I did, at Line 328 I replaced frame.destroy() with Browser.ie ? frame.empty().dispose() : frame.destroy()

Would be great if you provide a jsfiddle example next time, to reproduce the issue. I've set up a basic datepicker on http://jsfiddle.net/tofu/NABTC/

Does that work for you or give error?

Also: do you guys use iframeshim?

hi eerne, just checked your jsfiddle example and yes error reproduced in ie8, please see issue No.7 that I commented:
http://github.com/arian/mootools-datepicker/issues#issue/24

Also: do you guys use iframeshim? No

thanks for all your work...

[roosten]

Thanks goullian,

Your fix works for me as well and I guess this works similar to destroy(). At least doesn't leave unused objects.

Hi, eerne, your example produced the exact same error in ie8.
I'm not using iframeshim unless it's default.
