Saturdays go missing in the ASP.NET AJAX Calendar Extender

In the ASP.NET forums, I have seen many users complaining about the calendar display while using the ASP.NET AJAX CalendarExtender. The issue was particularly found in IE7 where Saturdays were not displayed in the calendar.

A simple solution that I had adopted sometime back was to set the padding and margin of the CalendarExtender to 0px;

The solution is shown over here:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

    <title></title>

    <style type="text/css">

    .calFixIE *

    {

        padding:0px;

        margin:0px;

    }

    </style>

</head>

<body>

    <form id="form1" runat="server">

    <div>

        <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server">

        </asp:ScriptManager>

        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>

        <cc1:CalendarExtender ID="CalendarExtender1" TargetControlID="TextBox1" 

        Format="dd/MM/yyyy" runat="server">

        </cc1:CalendarExtender>        

    </div>    

    </form>

</body>

</html>
