Strange… did you change the “containment” parameter of the function?

Hi Guillaume,
that’s good!
if you have the beforeShow callback function than you can use my builtin function to bring to front:
beforeShow: function() {$('#ui-datepicker-div').mb_bringToFront(); }
This is the same function I use for the containers…

Hi Guillaume,
Which version of mb.containerPlus are you using?
As I can see you are posting on mbContainers 1.2 and this is a closed project; the mb.containerPlus is the active project: http://pupunzi.open-lab.com/mb-jquery-components/mb-containerplus/

Using this you should not have the problem…
for the datepicker UI issue, my containers get the higher zIndex in the page; so you should find a method to bring to front your datepicker component… I don’t know if datepicker.UI has its own method…
I’ll give a look.
Bye,
Matteo

Hello, i would want to congratulate you for your job, it’s very nice.
I’ve some problems using mbContainersplus:
- how can i block the container in the area of the screen(like in the demo page), because my containers can be dragged at the right and at the bottom, outside the page (browser adds scrollbars)
- i use containers to display a , and i use the datePicker function from jquery UI, but the date picker appears under the containers, instead of beeing on it.

Sorry for my english, i’m french

Thanks, Guillaume

Hi Jason,
1. The 1.2 version uses a TABLE box model to draw containers and the Plus version use a DIV box model; so you should change your container code on the page as shown in the examples file; than you have to replace all the js and css used before with the one included with the PLUS one.
2. That feature is implemented in mbContainerPlus component; you can draw just one container and change its content via ajax dynamically with a specific method: jQuery.fn.mb_changeContainerContent(url, data);
Read all the documentation at: http://code.google.com/p/mbideasproject/wiki/mbContainerPlus to find out how does it works.

Bye,
Matteo

Matteo:

Great, fun script. Some help though:

1. I’m using v 1.2 and I’d like to convert to Plus. How do I do that?
2. Can I call a container from a text link with dynamic contents? I’ve got a list of computer users and I’d like to pull up info about each one from a DB – not really an option to include a container for each one as page starts up. =(

Thanks for any help!

Jason
