Error - Popup Calendar Localisation

IE7 has introduced an error in the use of the pop-up calendar control. When dates are transferred from the popup calendar (date clicked) the resultant value in the text box is rendered in American date format (mm/dd/yyyy) rather than the localised version, for example English (dd/mm/yyyy).

This bug is reported more fully in the Gemini bug database http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?ID=4506

The offending line is the setting of the anchorval in the function calPopupSetData

if(((weekDay+7-popCalFirstDayWeek)%7 != calDay) || (monthDate > lastDate))
  {
   popCalData+=("");
    continue;
  }
  else
  {
  anchorVal = "
window.opener.closeCalPopup()\">";
  jsVal = "javascript:window.opener.calPopupSetDate(window.opener.popCalDstFld,'" + constructDate(monthDate,thisMonth+1,thisYear) + "');
   window.opener.closeCalPopup()";

    popCalData += ("");

  if ((firstDay.getMonth() == dtToday.getMonth()) && (monthDate == dtToday.getDate()) && (thisYear == dtToday.getFullYear()) )
  popCalData += (anchorVal+fnt[2]+monthDate+"");
  else
    popCalData += (anchorVal+fnt[1]+monthDate+"");

  weekDay++;
  monthDate++;
  }

The modified line is as below:

anchorVal = "
