Calendar pop-up link position / not showing in Joomla

I Had an issue in IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10 when I click on the calendar icon the calendar does not appear. I then scrolled to the top of the page and there it was.

So the issue in Joomla to view the pop-up calendar when you click on the icon is to edit  media/system/js/calendar.js file

Replace:

if(Calendar.is_ie){br.y+=document.body.scrollTop;br.x+=document.body.scrollLeft;}else{br.y+=window.scrollY;br.x+=window.scrollX;}

with:

if(Calendar.is_ie){br.y+=document.body.document.documentElement.scrollTop;br.x+=document.body.document.documentElement.scrollLeft;}

Now my calendar icon links work in IE7, IE8, IE9 and IE10

IE 7 and IE 8 White Flash / Page reload

Posted on by

There is sometimes an issue in IE7 and IE8 when you click on the navigation that you get a white flash or the pages seems to reload momentarily giving the web pages a “jaggy” transition.

There are a few things you can try to solve the issue:

1) IE renders the page before all CSS has loaded. Solution: Include an empty script-element BEFORE the stylesheets.
Add:
+++
<script type=”text/javascript”>
</script>
+++
2) Include meta-tags for page-enter and page-exit transitions:
Add:
+++
<meta http-equiv=”Page-Enter”
content=”RevealTrans(Duration=0.1,Transition=0)” />
<meta http-equiv=”Page-Exit”
content=”RevealTrans(Duration=0.1,Transition=0)” />
+++
3) IE chokes on the content-type meta-tag; remove it.
4) Minimize CSS and JS files.
5) change background-color of body or html
