I am currently using the ajaxuploader in a form. Part of that form includes a jQuery datepicker, and a modal dialog box. When either of these controls are triggered, the mouse click event will go through to the uploader, rather than the dialog, if the mouse is over the uploader's textbox or browse button. The z-index of the dialogs are set above the uploader, and render above it (as they should).

Any thoughts on how to resolve this? For the modal dialog, I've enabled/disabled the uploader, based on the dialog's state. I'd prefer not to do this for the datepicker though, and would like to find a better solution overall.

Hi,

You may want to try our dialog control to see if it works for you. Our own dialog control should work better with the AJAXUploader control because they "know" each other.

Thanks!

Except jQuery is free, and we've already paid for a license for the ajaxuploader. Not to mention, we are already using jQuery for the modal dialog, and datepicker, throughout the current site. For consistency sake, I would prefer to stick with them.

No advice to help the jQuery datepicker to "know" the uploader?

Hi,

That's something totally out of our hand. When you are talking about two different third party control sets, it is not practical to expect them to "know" each other because both sides maintain their development/updates independently. So for example, even if we worked with JQuery to get their dialog to work with our AJAXUploader today, tomorrow they might release a new version and break it. The same can happen on our side. Simply put, if they were to do that, they would have numerous other third party controls to deal with; If we were to do that, we would face the same situation. As a result, this will never work out. So we do not do that. Hope you understand our position.

Thanks!

I understand the logistics that you describe. My question/point was, there is clearly a way you're making your dialog ignore the ajaxuploader. I was curious how you make it ignore the ajaxuploader. I'm not asking for an exception for jquery. It's just my current control of choice. It could be any control over yours, but I need away for your uploader to stop trying to handle the mouse events. Do you simply disable all of your controls, when your dialog box is called? or is there a better method you're using?

Hi,

This has to do with our implementation details so it's not something we feel appropriate to discuss for competitive reasons. Our dialog automatically blocks everything behind it.

Thanks!
