By default the UI Dialog is not modal. You can make it modal be setting the modal option to true. That also enables the overlay option, which you can set to a css hash. Example:
$(el).dialog({ modal: true, overlay: { background-color: 'gray', opacity: 0.5 } }); If you want to do it via a stylesheet: .ui-dialog-overlay { background-color: gray; opacity: 0.5 } - Richard On Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 2:12 PM, Shelane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Scott, can you expand on this?
