Hello Richard,
I did some more testing and determined that it seems to be a general
performance issue. I created an HTML file that only had text inputs
that were converted to datepicker widgets and nothing else, and they
did not crash the browser in question *but* caused the browser to
noticeably chug.
The following is the barebones HTML I refer to:
<html>
<head>
<title>IE6 datepicker test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://
ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-
ui.css"/>
<style type="text/css">
body { font-family: Arial; font-size: 62.5%; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<input id="test1" type="text"/>
<input id="test2" type="text"/>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/
jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/
jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#test1").datepicker();
$("#test2").datepicker();
$("#test3").datepicker();
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
It may very well have something to do with the hardware as well
although the box on which the IE6 browser runs is decidedly more
powerful with significantly more memory and less installed
applications than the one at my desktop which uses IE7 and does not
suffer from this issue.
I have not had a chance to test it at home since I do not have a
computer running IE6 there. I'll have to try the link you sent.
Thanks,
Nathaniel
