[Rails-spinoffs] Re: Select overlays all DHTML components in IE

Tue, 26 Sep 2006 10:21:06 -0700

Hi, I helped Marco with his dialogs. I think you're missing piece is a transparency filter in the style of the iFrame...

filter: 'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(style=0,opacity=0)'

Unfortunately, I need to be able to support IE6 for the time being, so
it looks like the iframe approach is preferrable.

Per Marco's post, I have been looking at the code at
http://www.net4visions.com/dev/dialog/_dialog.js. Specifically, the
_createHTML function in the Dialog class:

<code>
obj = document.createElement('IFRAME');
obj.frameborder = 0;
Element.setStyle (obj, {border: 0 + 'px', position: 'absolute',
backgroundColor: '#ffffff', top: 0 + 'px', left: 0 + 'px', zIndex:
-1});
this.dContainer.insertBefore(obj, this.dTitle);
</code>

When I tried to do something similar, I ended up with the white iframe
overlaying my window background (an image set by CSS background
property).  Other articles recommend setting 'display: none' for the
iframe and not setting a background color, but this caused the iframe
to no longer be effective in covering the select elements.

It seems my problem is related to using the background property to
create my window border, even with the window's div wrapper's z-index
set to 1000.  Thoughts?
