I am trying to use the JQuery UI datepicker (latest stable version 1.5.2) on an IE6 website. But I am having the usual problems with combo boxes (selects) on IE6 where they float above other controls. I have tried adding the bgIframe plugin after declaring the datepicker with no luck.

My guess is that the .ui-datepicker-div to which I am attaching the bgIframe doesn't exist until the calendar is shown.

I am wondering if I can put the .bgIframe() command directly into the datepicker .js file and if so, where? (the similar control by kelvin Luck uses this approach)

Current code

$(".DateItem").datepicker({
showOn:"button",
... etc ...
});
$(".ui-datepicker-div").bgIframe();
