Hello All, First of all, as a new jQuery lister, I'd like to thank you all for such a great community project resulting in a fantastic js toolset. I love great community driven projects (they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :) ).
Anyway, after a long search with no answer, I have question for you. Scenario: - Multiple portlets (jsr-168) on a page, each being a disparate application. - Most operating as ajax clients - Some possibly designed as semi-real-time/server synchronized applications (which means they have an internal clock which is kept in sync with the server so that the events of many clients are performed within a synchronous envelop, this is to account for network latencies and such). Hope that's clear enough. Furthermore, some operations in the UI may take considerable time to execute (sorts, filters, ajax calls, etc...). The Problem: - I need a solution to "block/blur" specific areas of the page, a whole portlet maybe, or maybe even a portion of a portlet, without blocking other applications or areas of the page. For example, if I had a div#divA which contains "whatever" dynamic content, maybe a form, maybe some clickables, sortables, etc.. but I want one of these time consuming operations to "block/blur" only this one div#divA using a translucent onion skin, when the event is executing and "unblock/unblur" on completion. It would be virtually the same as say the blockUI plugin, but for a specific div. Do you think this is doable? I've been trying for a couple of days, just with standard js/css and can't get it right in both FF and IE, it seems to be either/or... Note that the scrollable div in IE seems to often defeat the overlays I've tried, once the scroll bar appears... Ideas? Thanks, -- Raymond Auge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Software Engineer Liferay, Inc.
