Search Bug - calendar - mozilla 1.6

[klah]

Using Mozilla 1.6 at http://forums.anandtech.com/search.cfm when you click on the calendar to select the start date (javascript:showcalendar1()😉 the calendar does not close as it should after selecting a date, thus blocking access to the end date. Works fine in IE.

Just had the exact same problem and came here to report it. Looks like you beat me to it. BTW, the calender function works just fine with IE6; just not with Firefox. Tested this three times to verify results. One thing you can do with mozilla is click on the start date in the pop up calender, then click the "Back" button to go back to a previous page. Then click Forward and it keeps the date but loses the calender. Repeat the process for the end date. It's a PITA to do it this way but it is a workaround.

Using 1.7b I get a similar problem. Both the start and end dates are opened by default and can't be closed at all. This has the side effect of blocking most of the Forum User Search.

Can we get any kind of confirmation/we're working on it/screw you we don't like you/one of these days we'll look into it, we love you and will look into it ASAP, etc, etc, etc on this??

It's real and it happens; that's what you need to know. A hint of assistance/understanding in this would go a long way.....................................................!

I'm having the same trouble, mozilla 1.6.

We're aware of this, looks like a bug in mozilla and closing object tags within a nested frame. We'll probably just remove the calendar for everything but IE for now.
