I'm having exactly the same problem. Is there a fix available?

I had the same problem as well (Using IE8, but I guess it is the same issue).

It turned out that it was a caused by a double include of prototype.js: Once 
before
the the calender code, and in another location before including another 
component
which was built on prototype. 

After I removed the second include, everything worked fine.
