Backlayer Gaps

I am having problems getting Control.Modal working correctly. I am trying to display a modal iframe. The problem is that the backlayer (the layer that dims the background) has a gap on the right hand side and also the bottom. These gaps are about the size of a scroll bar.

Does anyone have any suggestion on what I might be doing wrong?

2.0 introduced a few bugs in some edge cases. I am working around these. Please post any URLs and what browsers you see it on. Thanks! - Ryan

Thanks for the response. I will see if I can get a test url up for you.

We need your help - it is perhaps only a minor problem, but only if you are scrolling you see the backlayer! Thank you very much!!!

"No input specified" at the URL. Long story short, there is some behavior that feels shaky to me, and I want Control.Modal to be rock solid. I am going to do a lot of testing tomorrow, and will post fixes then, and update the CM page. Thanks guys!

sorry I changed the URL: http://www.6degrees.ch/mp3/charts/index.php

scroll down and click on a name of an artist and you will see!

Try the new 2.1 version, it fixes a number of display bugs. Install that, and if it doesn't solve your problems post which browsers are still giving you trouble.

Hope we can get this ironed out!

in your new script the backlayer gabs are solved. But all falsh files/elements in the iframe doesn't get loaded.

Can you solve this also - backlayer gabs & flash files?

Thanks a lot! You do great job!!!

Loads for me... Can you describe in detail? What browsers, what URL?

Ryan, here I send you a link: http://www.6degrees.ch/mp3/charts/index_test.php

The problem exist only in Firefox. Using control.modal.2.1.0.js or control.modal.2.2.0.js you can hear the music, but the flash player isn't displayed.

OK, definitely see that. I've heard of an ugly trick that will get this to work by putting an iframe of the same dimensions under the modal_container. I'll investiage and see if I can't solve the flash problems once and for all.

Thanks! - Ryan

Hi Ryan,

the problem exists still in version 2.2.2. Can I donate some money that you can work on this problem?
