jquery ui dialog and our dearest friend, ie6
- by bradjive
I'm using the jquery ui dialog for a modal popup dialog. It's working great in Firefox/Chrome but terrible in ie6.
Problem:
When I show the dialog in ie6, the browser window grows and automatically scrolls down to the bottom. The height increase and automatic scroll-down is equal to the height of the jquery dialog.
I can scroll up and then use the dialog as normal, but the behavior where it grows the window and drops is maddeningly unacceptable.
Here is how I'm launching the window:
<div id="dialogWindow"></div>
...
$(document).ready(function() {
var $dialog = $("#dialogWindow").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
minWidth: 560,
width: 560,
resizable: "true",
position: "top"
});
$('.addButton').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#dialogWindow').load('http://myurl');
$dialog.dialog('open');
});
});
I am already using the bgiframe plugin for jquery which is key for ie6 overlay issues. But this seems unrelated to that. Has anyone seen this before and found a work around?
