weird datefield pop-up position in IE
I have a page with a form containing a DateField. The form is long enough
that the user might have to scroll down a little to get to the DateField.
After that, when the user clicks on the calendar icon, the widget pops up in
some seemingly random location not near the field. Sometimes even outside
the visible page boundaries.
This happens in IE7, IE8 and (the tester tells me) on a Mac, but not in
Firefox. It happens with both the standard DateField and the tapx version.
I've searched the list and Jira with no luck. Ring any bells?
Thanks.

I believe I fixed it, but it was a long time ago. Apologies if my notes
are no longer relevant. I patched it in my local source and I've never
gone back to see if the problem was fixed in later versions.
I found that the positioning problem was in the old jscalendar code, and a
patch.

Looking at my source for calendar.js I find:
Line 89:
// IE-popup-position patch, one line:
Calendar.is_ie7up = ( Calendar.is_ie &&
parseFloat(navigator.userAgent.replace(/.*msie ([0-9]+).*/i, "$1" )) >= 7 );
Line 1393:
// IE-popup-position patch, one line:
if (Calendar.is_ie && !Calendar.is_ie7up) {
Line 1412:
// IE-popup-position patch, start:
var AmountOfYScroll = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
var HeightOfScreen = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
var PositionOfElement = p.y;
var HeightOfCalendar = (h+40);
if (Calendar.is_ie7up &&
( (PositionOfElement - AmountOfYScroll + HeightOfCalendar ) >=
(HeightOfScreen) ) ) {
var valign = "T";
} else {
var valign = opts.substr(0, 1);
}
// IE-popup-position patch, end.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I am experiencing the same problem
with Tapestry 5.3.2 in IE8. I have a page whose form is down far enough
that the user has to scroll to get to it. When they use the datefield, the
popup appears in a completely different part of the page, above the form.
The user has to scroll back up to even see it. The form and datefield works
fine in Chrome.
Thanks
