Can Windows' enhanced security break jQueryUI's datepicker?

Question

I\'m experiencing a weird problem trying to debug an ASP.NET + jQuery + jQueryUI web application developed by someone who left the company a couple of months ago.

Answer 1

If you disable IE Enhanced Security, this issue goes away. I'm not sure if this is a valid workaround, but maybe it could provide a clue.

To disable, open Server Manager. Click Configure IE ESC and disable Enhanced Security for either Administrators or Users.

Answer 2

A stab in the dark maybe but I've had similar problems where the site was being rendered in the local intranet zone and therefore automatically rendered in IE7 compatibility mode. This seemed to cause an error in jquery's browser detection. Adding the following meta tag to the head section fixed it.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
