How to Stop confirmation popup arising for datepicker control in IE

Question

Hello All,
I m using a confirmation popup to notify user when they try to navigate away from the page with out saving the changes made. I executed it through the javascript and it even works properly for most of the items and buttons except Datepicker control. This issue is only with Internet Explorer and all others are fine.
I use the following block of code to do the job
+function isFormChanged()
{+
var rtnVal = false;
var frm = document.wwv_flow;
var ele = frm.elements;
for ( i=0; i < ele.length; i+ )
{+  
+if ( isElementChanged( ele, i ) )
{+
rtnVal = true;
break;
+}+
+}+
return rtnVal;
+}+
+function isElementChanged( ele, i )
{+
var isEleChanged = false;
+switch ( ele.type ) {+
case "text" :
+if ( ele[i].value != ele[i].defaultValue ) return true;+
+if( ele[i].id.indexOf('Date')!=-1) return false;+
break;
case "textarea" :
+if ( ele[i].value != ele[i].defaultValue ) return true;+
break;
case "radio" :
val = "";
+if ( ele[i].checked != ele[i].defaultChecked ) return true;+
break;
case "select-one" :
+if      (ele[i].id>99 ) return false;+
+for ( var x =0 ; x <ele[i].length; x++ )
{+
+if ( ele[i].options[ x ].selected+
+!= ele[i].options[ x ].defaultSelected ) return true;+
+}+
break;
case "select-multiple" :
+if      (ele[i].id>99 ) return false;+
+for ( var x =0 ; x <ele[i].length; x++ )
{+
+if ( ele[i].options[ x ].selected !=+
+ele[i].options[ x ].defaultSelected ) return true;+
+}+
break;
case "checkbox" :
+if ( ele[i].checked != ele[i].defaultChecked ) return true;+
default:
return false;
break;
+}+
+}+
var g_saving = false;
var IsThe2ndNavAway = false;
var g_errmsg="The changes you made to the page were not saved.";
+function WarnSave()
{+
var formChanged = isFormChanged();
if (!g_saving && formChanged)
+{+
if(!IsThe2ndNavAway)
+{+
IsThe2ndNavAway=true;
+var tOut = window.setTimeout(function () { IsThe2ndNavAway = false; }, 0);+
return g_errmsg;
+}+
+}+
+}+
function doSave()
+{+
g_saving=true;
doSubmit('SAVE');
+}+
the above lines on page Html header and the Html body attribute with onBeforeUnload="return WarnSave();"
Can any one say why the confirmation popup is pushed of in IE for DatePicker Calendar alone and provide the work around if any..
