Pop up a DIV tag over the Select tag is finally fixed in IE7

[mdissel]

According this blogpost http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/mladenp/a.../10/57189.aspx it's fixed, so in yui-ext we could add an extra browser check to avoid adding the IFRAME fix..

Thanks

Yes, but Flash, QuickTime, etc. (probably many other ActiveX controls) still appear above the <div> without the IFRAME fix.

Where/how does yui-ext help with this? I'm rolling my own "video lightbox" solution, and I'd really like to use something that exists if possible!

I have added this check to the new version.

cwiltgen: In the new release, you can reconfigure it globally (instead of all over the place) by the central sniffed variable:

Ext.useShims = true;

Jack,

That's great, but I'm not enough of a yui-ext guru to know what would replace what I'm currently doing.

For example, to solve this I learned that I had to place an <iframe> under the <div>, with the <iframe> and its content having very-specific settings that took hours to suss out.

I didn't see a YUI.ext.createTransparentDivWithIframeShivIfRequired , so what bits of yui-ext will change their behavior when I set Ext.useShims? (If it's just yui-ext widgets, I'm thinking that doesn't help me.)

Thanks,

You don't have to be a "guru". What's "the div"????

yui-ext will handle this in it's own widgets. See BasicDialog examples. This will handle being popped up over IE6 selects.

The <div> is the full-screen overlay <div> I create the foundation for the lightbox effect.

Ah, I'm looking for a general solution. It looks like I need to stick with my home-grown code.

Thanks,
