blockui over jQueryUI modal dialog


I can't make BlockUI work over a modal dialog.
I tried to look after z-index issues, but without success...

In my web page, here is the head :

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.17/jquery-ui.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jquery.malsup.com/block/jquery.blockUI.js?v2.38" ></script>
<link media="all" type="text/css" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.17/themes/base/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" />

and the body:

<div id="dialog_test" title="Test">
    TEST
</div>

<a href="#" id="go">GO</a>

<script>
    $(function() {
        $( "#dialog_test" ).dialog({
            autoOpen: false,
            modal: true,
            buttons: {
                "Cancel": function() {
                    $( this ).dialog( "close" );
                },
                "Ajax": function() {
                    $.ajax({
                        "url" : "http://jquery.malsup.com/block/wait.php",
                        "success" : function(json) {
                            $( "#dialog_test" ).dialog( "close" );
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        });

        $( "#go" ).click(function(event) {
            event.preventDefault();
            $( "#dialog_test" ).dialog( "open" );
        });

    });

    $(document)
        .ajaxStart(function() {
            $.blockUI({
                theme: true
            })
        })
        .ajaxStop($.unblockUI);

</script>

Any idea?


Solution

  • You don't specify what you have tried with z-index.

    The blockUI plugin has an option to change the z-index of the message it creates (documentation):

    // z-index for the blocking overlay 
    baseZ: 1000,
    

    jQuery UI Dialog as an option for specifying a z-index as well. Its default value is 1000. So you have to set a higher number for the BlockUI option, let's say 2000:

    $.blockUI({
        theme: true,
        baseZ: 2000
    })
