IE doesn't support the target property, they use srcElement instead.

Change:

if (e.target.id != 'show_calender')

to:

if ((e.target || e.srcElement).id != 'show_calender')

You may also need to add this to the beginning of your function:

if (!e) e = window.event

Your final code would look like this:

function check(e) { 

    if (!e) e = window.event;

    var obj = document.getElementById('calendar_widget');



    if (obj != 'null') {

        if ((e.target || e.srcElement).id != 'show_calender')

                obj.style.display='none';

    }

}
