Problems using dhtmlxWindow together with openLayers I am in the process of developing a page that displays a map using openLayers and uses dhtmlxWindows to display additional information. While these are both great frameworks and I have got them to work independently I am having a display issue when combining them. In IE7 everything works great. However in IE8 native mode, Firefox 3 and Safari 4 I experience the same problem that when the window opens as a modal window it is still behind the map image. I have posted a simple example @ http://www.cmainfo.co.za/test/index.htm to demonstrate this problem. Answer posted by Alex on Apr 20, 2009 07:08 Hello, Try to set the following class for the openLayers (just place it into the style tag on the page this components): div#olMap_OpenLayers_ViewPort { z-index: 1; } Possibly it'll fix the issue. Answer posted by Derek on Apr 21, 2009 01:19 Thank you Alex for your prompt reply and pointing me in the right direction. Doing some debuging I see that the map's ViewPort div has a z-index of 0 in IE7 and is blank in the more compliant browsers. I am working in ASP.NET and the name of the map's div gets changed so I have come up with the following solution which is working in all the browsers I have to test on. After calling the map constructor I then use the following code to set the z-index of the ViewPort: map = ...<map constructor>...; This works equally well with a value of 0 or 1. Seems the problem was no value being set. |
