Hi Matt,
To reuse a DOM element as the blocking content you must cache a
reference to it. That's how the DOM examples work at
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/block/. This is necessary because you
are free to use a different message or element for every blocking call
so unblock always removes the message from the DOM. The following
should work for you:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var myBlock = $('#myBlock')[0]; // cache it
$().ajaxStart(function() {
$.blockUI(myBlock);
}).ajaxStop($.unblockUI);
});
Hope this helps.

Mike, I guess I have one other lingering issue with blockUI that I hope you
can help with. I have a custom DOM element that I have been using as my
blockUI overlay, which I pass like so:
$.blockUI( $('#block-message') );
My overlay element is just a div containing a single h1 and an input
(type=button).
What is happening now is that it is removing the whole #block-message
element after the first $.unblockUI call. I can verify that it is deleted
with Firebug, and future calls to $.blockUI just show the transparent iFrame
with no dialog.
I did try to pass the dialog as a DOM element or a jQuery object, either
declared in a variable or passed directly to the function. Nothing seems to
be working.
Thanks again,
m.
