I've got a display issue with the EO datepicker control and a div overlay.

Instead of a popup I created a set of div overlays for my page. The div overlay basically just toggles its Z index to 49999 to cover all the controls with a transparent grey backgrond. And a 2nd Div with a Z index of 50000 is presented with a set of controls (like a popup form).

Here's my problem:
The div has a EO datepicker control. When I click the button for the datepicker to expand the calender it is not visible. Apparently when the calendar expands it is behind the div container. How can I fix this? Can I set the z index or something so that it will always be on top?

Please advise

Note:I'm using EOWeb_2008

Hi,

I believe DatePicker uses z-index in the 30000 (30K) range and there is no public API to change it. It was changed to 300000 (300K) range since version 2009. The changed value should work for you.

The change may already exist in the latest 2008 build, so try that first (we will PM the download location of the latest 2008 build). If it does not work, you will need to either update to 2009 or manually modify the script file for 2008. Follow these steps to manually modify script file for 2008:

1. Turn on physical JavaScript file. See the following link for details (look for "Physical script files"):
http://doc.essentialobjects.com/library/1/installationanddeployment/deploy.aspx

2. Search for "return 30000" in the js files. You should only see one occurrence. Change that to a higher number;

Thanks!
