Hi,
It was probably working in 2.5.2 with the Calendar rendered outside of
the Modal Dialog because the Calendar was rendered *after* the Modal
Dialog was displayed, but in general the idea of modality is that
anything which lies outside the Modal Dialog cannot be interacted
with, while that Dialog is modal. Hence moving it inside the Dialog
resolves the issue (the fact that your Calendar was interactive in
2.5.2 was effectively a 2.5.2 bug).

The rest of the issues you mention all seem to be related to the fact
that the Calendar DIV is statically or relatively positioned, as
opposed to absolutely positioned. So it's taking up space inside the
Dialog's body, as opposed "popping" above it (I'm assuming you want it
to be absolutely positioned based on the fact that you mention trying
to set z-index).

If you do still need to send across the page, please try and modify it
so that I can load it locally to test (relative paths changed to
absolute or removed to get a minimal test page).

Regards,
Satyen

p.s. I don't believe Calendar documentation states that the div needs
to come just before the closing BODY tag, but if you know where it
does, let me know. It's not a requirement.
