Hi Satyen,

Yes, the problem does go away if I set modality to false for the modal dialog.

Also, it is true that I've been rendering the Calendar outside of the Dialog
because my Calendar markup
<div id="popupCalContainer"></div>
is defined just before the page's closing </BODY> tag per what I thought your
Calendar documentation said to do in YUI 2.5.2.

I've now tried putting the Calendar markup inside the modal dialog's "bd"
section and the Calendar works fine after that. However, there is then a visual
issue in IE6/IE7/IE8(not in IE8 mode) - if the modal dialog is shorter in height
than the calendar's height, when the Calendar renders next to the icon that
launched it, the modal dialog suddenly grows in height (downward) so that the
Calendar visually stays inside the modal dialog's visible border area. The
newly increased area of the modal dialog is also completely transparent and
shows whatever is on the main page underneath it. Again, with all this, I've
been setting the Calendar's z-index to 999 so that it is on top of all other
things.

I will send you the "View Source" separately offline.

Thanks much,

Andrew
