Doesn't work in IE8 and lower?

Yes IE8 and below are not supported at the moment. I should add this to the documentation.

I'm still considering if it's worth it to even bother with that.

[fgd007]

Yeah sure. But indeed adding it in the docs would be smart.

I totally agree with you that making things to work with IE is a real pain in the ass, but introducing it as a jQuery datepicker sort of creates the expectation that it will work in IE6+ ... I mean, that's the whole point of jQuery right? I didn't fully inspected the code and I don't know whether this native js .map function is the only problem, but these things should work when using jQuerys alternative functions, ie. $.map()

I think you can safely ignore IE6 but not eventually supporting IE8 would be a shame. It currently has around 13% market share (which is higher than Safari) and Windows XP users (of which there are still many) can't upgrade to IE9. For Nov 2012 browser market share, see: http://imgur.com/01Pc4

@fgd007 good point.

@corford Yes, IE7 and up it is! I'll be adding support soon.

Fantastic! If on top of that you can somehow find the time to add in a bit of keyboard support for accessibility, this datepicker is going to be the best on the internet :)

How soon is soon? I need a datepicker and might consider this if it will be IE8 compatible in the next week or two.

IE 7+ support is now available https://github.com/amsul/pickadate.js#pickadatejs-v136

@corford keyboard accessibility is also baked in :)

I still can't get picker.js + picker.date.js (both v3.3.2) to work in IE 8. There's issue with Array.map and Array.filter missing, if I use shims (MDN or es5-shim) I get TypeError (argument is not a function), if I replace throw new TypeError with return new Array(0) then on date selected I guess resulting string with empty values supplied (thus .. with dd.mm. YYYY). What can one do to fix this?

Works fine for me with Opera 12&19, newest FF, Chrome, IE9,10,11

@NoxArt take a look at the note on browser support: http://amsul.ca/pickadate.js/index.htm#browser-support. Need to include legacy.js as well.
