_focus() not working on IE9 (for datepicker?)

I have a form that's using datepicker and performing some onclick actions. In all other browsers, when I do the _click(_textbox("intime")), it's bringing focus properly to datepicker and the actions are being performed. However, when I use IE9, focus is not going to datepicker (I can set the values correctly, but my actions that rely on the focus of the datepicker are not kicking off).
I have found the Alternatives option on the Controller and found that using
_focus(_textbox("hasDatepicker[1]"));
vs
_focus(_textbox("intime"));
actually works.
However, I still wonder why the focus is not being set within IE, while all the other browsers work when I'm simply setting the value, and why _focus() doesn't work for the "id" of the textbox?
