I had a similar problem. After trying many things the only solution was to do as the devs suggested: make sure the ModalWindow that opens the modal with the form in it is ITSELF in a form. Not sure why this is the only way to get modal forms with DatePickers working on IE 8 - it just is.
We fixed this in the Wicketstuff ModalX framework by setting up n ModalWindowS each enclosed in a form - all set up in your base page class. This ensures that every page in your app has available at any time n 'already form wrapped' ModalWindowS to you. N is chosen by the developer to be the maximum number of nested forms that you will ever need. 2-3 is fine for most apps. 3 is good because it allows nesting to 2 levels of modals + 1 for an extra ModalX MessageBox if required to alert the user while on the 2 form. >-----Original Message----- >From: Matt [mailto:matthieu.laurent-...@sgcib.com] >Sent: Friday, 10 February 2012 12:13 AM >To: users@wicket.apache.org >Subject: Problem DatePicker, ModalWindow and IE8 > >Hi everybody, > >I've got some issue about the DatePicker. > >I'm using Wicket 1.4.17 with wicket extension 1.4.17 as well. > >I'v got a modal window, with a form and inside a datetextfield with a >datepicker.
