dropDownList problem Within a JqxWindow in Modal format

[jcf378Participant]

I have placed multiple JqxDropDownList widgets within a JqxWindow that has its modal property set to ‘true’.
This JqxWindow happens to be the “Edit” window of a JqxGrid in ‘popup Editing mode’.

When the JqxWindow is opened while trying to edit a JqxGrid row, the DropDownLists all display fine.
However, on certain computers throughout my institution, when the DropDownList is clicked to open, the list actually opens “behind” the pop-up window — I can see the list of items, but cannot click them. Its as if the list opened up behind my JqxWindow, but in front of the background JqxGrid page. I thought maybe this was browser compatibility issue, but all other jquery elements seem to work, and the browser I was using was internet explorer 9.

Any thoughts as to why the dropDownList might be opening up behind the modal JqxWindow?
thanks,
–Jason

Hi Jason,

Could you provide an example which demonstrates the behavior which you report? Do you use jQWidgets 3.2.2? If not, are you sure that this bug report is still valid? Did you test this only with IE9 or the other computers use different version or different mode of the browser(such as compatibility mode which is actually IE7 standards, not IE9)

Best Regards,

Thanks Peter — you were right, as usual.
I disabled compatibility mode on the computers I noticed this problem on, and it fixed it right away…
Will just have to notify users to do that if things aren’t working for them.
Many thanks,
-Jason
