I've implemented a jQuery date picker in IE 8, in an otherwise blank page.
If the text box is visible on page load, I can click the text-box and the date picker will come up correctly.
But if the text-box is positioned lower down, so that I need to scroll to get to it, after I scroll and click it, the datepicker appears in the wrong place, far above the text-box.
The amount of space that the position is out seems to correspond to the amount of scrolling-down that has occurred.
Strangely, if I go into Quirks mode using the developer toolbar, the problem goes away.
Two questions:
1) Why is this happening? Is it a bug in jQuery?
2) Is there a way I can force IE into quirks mode, just so I can quickly fix this issue for now, since I'm on a deadline?
