#90 IE7 popup position error

In Internet Explorer 7 using Standards Compliance Mode (using a proper doctype), the popup calendar displays in the wrong vertical position. The longer the page is vertically, the more "off" the popup will be (it will be significantly higher than it should be). This patch tells the calendar to use the standard code for positioning if IE is at least version 7.

Thank you very much! it has been very useful. This bug in IE was driving me crazy.

By the way, for the other comment asking how to use it, if you open the files will see there are two files to download:

calendar.js: you can replace the original calendar.js by this one if you have not changed anything in it.
calendar.js.patch: if you open this file with a notepad, for example, you will see a line with two @@. This line points out the lines where the change must be done. After this there are lines with a - or a + at the beginning. The - at the beginning means that line must be deleted and the + means that line must be added.

I hope it helps and thanks pjcollier again!

Please correct the following line in the patch!

WRONG LINE:
Calendar.is_ie7up = ( Calendar.is_ie && parseFloat(navigator.userAgent.replace(/.*msie ([0-9]+).*/i, "$1" )) >= 7 );

CORRECTED LINE:
Calendar.is_ie7up = ( Calendar.is_ie && parseFloat(navigator.userAgent.replace(/.*?msie ([0-9]+).*/i, "$1" )) >= 7 );
(there is a question mark before msie)

This is neccesarry! For example:
This is my useragent string, that contains multiple "MSIE" parts:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.2; WOW64; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
