Description

In my case, when I click on the field to bring up the calendar. The prompt message is displayed. I can't select the dates in right side,like December 3,4,10,11,17,18,24,25 and I can't advance the month to January. Invalid message also has the same problem. It seems made by message overlapped calendar. It only happen in IE8. FF3.6 and Safari5 work fine.

The real problem is that the Tooltip's BackgroundIframe is too tall, 3x the height of the tooltip itself. You can workaround this by making the DateTextBox at least as wide as the Calendar dropdown. Or alternately modify !BackgroundIFrame in popup.js to say dojo.isIE<=8 instead of dojo.isIE < 7.

I'll check in the fix after I get a chance to add an automated test case.

Turns out this problem is occurring because your test case is in quirks mode, i.e. you have 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

rather than 

<!DOCTYPE html>

(In [23274]) Height:100% for BackgroundIframe doesn't work in quirks mode, even on IE8. That was causing a problem where a DateTextBox promptMessage interfered with Calendar interaction. Fixes #12020 !strict.
