I've started doing quite a bit of mobile development
and have been working on implementing modal dialogs
on a site, but I've found a couple of issues I can't
work around:

1) On mobile devices (iPhone and Android) a user's
   touch goes through all layers on a screen.  If I
   create an overlay that prevents a user from clicking
   the screen beneath it, it works on a desktop, but
   not on mobile devices.  I haven't figure out, yet,
   how to prevent activation of functions "below" the overlay.
   Such as tapping a dialog that is on top of a phone number
   on a mobile device causes the phone to pop up an alert
   to dial the number.

2) Modal dialogs don't scroll properly. I've noticed that
   a modal dialog won't scroll unless the screen below (that
   does scroll when swiped, even if the swipe is on top of
   the modal dialog) is at the top of the page.  This problem
   is related to problem 1.

Anyone have any pointers? Anyone written successful modal
dialog code for smartphones? Or know of a plug-in that works
well on iPhone, Android, iPad?

I was surprised by how much trouble I'm having getting
modal dialogs to work on these devices.

Before I give up on the modal approach, which I've used a
lot on the desktop, I thought I'd ask for help here.

Thanks for any feedback!

Rick
