Datepicker plug-in giving error in IE 8

Hello,

When I use the datapicker along with datatables, it gives error in IE8 where as it works in FF. Here is my code

CSS includes

 
<link type="text/css" href="../j/jQuery1.8/css/custom-theme/jquery-ui-1.8.23.custom.css" rel="Stylesheet" />	
    <link href="../j/jQuery1.8/DataTables-1.9.3/JQuery-DataTables-Editable-1.3/media/jAlert/jquery.alerts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

JS includes

 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../j/jQuery1.8/js/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>
