I am using this open source calendar and have the listbox below the date picker button.
When I click the date picker button, the listbox will suddenly hide in IE6, IE7 and IE8. How can I fix this issue?

2The link you posted does not work. In any case, if it's broken as you describe, I suspect that this calendar may not be, in fact, the coolest calendar. – Pointy Jun 10 '11 at 12:12

You should probably show the code (JS & HTML) you are using and also make a small demo on http://jsfiddle.net/. – Tomalak Jun 10 '11 at 12:13

Isn't it supposed to be hidden? From the site…
this select should hide when the calendar is above it
This is to work around the limitation in IE with z-index, see Z-Index problems with IE6 and html <select> element and probably many other questions.
The calendar you are using is out of date and you might find you get incompatibilities with newer browsers. I would recommend the jQueryUI Datepicker for a more up-to-date (and cooler) calendar. Although that does mean you would need to include jQuery and a jQueryUI theme which might not suit your needs.
Edit: The code is blindly hiding <select> elements for all versions of IE, even though the bug was fixed in IE7 - a year after that calendar library was last updated :-)
