datepicker works - doesn't work

datepicker works - doesn't work

I am using the datepicker in a very basic way: click in the textbox, it pops up, you select a date, it closes after putting the date into the textbox.  In the dev environment it works fine.  No problems.  When I deploy it to the production environment, datepicker opens when I go into the textbox, but when I click a date, nothing happens.  I ran it in the script debugger of IE8 and the _selectDay() function is never called.
 
I checked to make sure all the same files were there as in the dev environment and they were.  I get no error messages.  Other jQuery code is working fine on the same page: I use the validation add-in to validate that the date is entered in the textbox and that it is a valid date.  This works in both prod and dev.
 
The production environment is:
Server: Win Server 2008 (this is the version of server 2008 that doesn't have a UI, just a command line)
Client: Win Server 2008 (this one has the full UI)
Browser: IE8 (with all updates as far as I know)
Protocol: https
Other Data: I am using remote desktop to access the client machine.
 
The dev environment:
Server: the server that comes with Visual Studio 2008
Client: Win7
Browser: IE8 (same version number as in production)
Protocol: http
 
jQuery version: 1.4.1
jQuery UI version: 1.7.2
 
Anyone have any clue as to what might be causing this and if there is a solution?
