jquerytools/jquerytools — Issue #683: [dateinput] calendar does not open when preceded by select box

State: open

We have dateinput on a text field that follows a select. In Firefox, when the user selects a value, the cursor advances to the dateinput field but the calendar does not pop open. I have tried all kinds of tricks, including toggling blur and focus, and have been unsuccessful. Irritatingly, going to another browser tab and back DOES pop it open. I believe it has something to do with the select registering as a click. Any suggestions apart from not using dateinput after a select box?

Note I have had users report this problem in Chrome, but I've only managed to reproduce it in FireFox so far

PS I apologize for the false start, I didn't expect anyone to open the issue so quickly. I thought I had time to figure out JS Fiddle before someone got to it! I wasn't clear if the issue would ever get looked at again so I went ahead and filed a new one.
