Chris Sweeney commented on JBSEAM-1319:
---------------------------------------

Another issue has shown up with regards to s:selectDate and rich:modalPanel. The modal panel is positioned absolutely, and s:selectDate is positioned relatively. This means that s:selectDate does not always popup where expected, and it scrolls with the underlying page while the modalPanel does not. The current behavior is correct for when the underlying content is non-modal.

I've observed this on Mac OS X, 10.4.9, using Firefox 2.0.0.3. (But I expect it to be true for most OS/Browser combinations). I don't (yet) have a solution...

> If s:selectDate is used on a rich:modalPanel, it does not appear when the icon is clicked. This is because the z-index for the calendar div is not set. I have a patch (included below) to /org/jboss/seam/ui/resource/date/calendar.js (contained within jboss-seam-ui.jar). The patch is not as elegant as I would have liked - I would have preferred to navigate up the DOM tree from the target element and set the z-index based on where the target element lived. Unfortunately, my efforts at doing so have been unsuccessful.
