[jQuery] Re: Lightbox/ThickBox/ui.dialog etc

2008-11-28 Thread Lee McMullen
@Richard - Thanks for that, I'll take a look at the fix you recommended.
I'd much prefer to use ui.dialog so hopefully your recommendation will work
on IE6.

@webRat - thanks for that site - useful resource.  I have other projects
bubbling away on prototype so this will come in handy.

Cheers,
Lee

I recommend grabbing a pre-made or custom (roll-your-own) theme from
http://ThemeRoller.com/

This is fixed by including the bgiframe plugin and including bgiframe:true
in the dialog options. See http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Dialog/dialog#options

Hi there,

implementation to use?

It's not going to be used to display images, it's mainly form
interaction. My only caveat's are:

- Must be draggable
- Must (unfortunately) work in IE6
- Must be modal

I've been playing with ui.dialog and really like it.  However I seem
to be having some issues in IE6 - using the same theme as displayed on
this page:

http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/ui/demos/functional/#ui.dialog

The "close" image on the title bar is causing some layout issues and
also "" elements from the underlying content are appearing
through into the content of the "dialog".

A quick search brought back this: http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/.
Appears to do everything required except be draggable.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
Lee
