Thanks a lot, today you're my hero.

all I had to do for my isse was to set

 EnableDropDownAsChild="false"

Seems to work but now I think I'm having issues with the css files. I've upgraded from 2008.3 to 2009.1 and I think there might have been some css stuff that I need to merge between versions. Thanks for the help!

Hi rdorris,

You can use the same solution I have provided in my previous post about the zIndex. It also appears that in your scenario the dropdown is displayed behind the popup container. EnableDropDownAsChild should be also set to "false".

I am attaching a sample WebSite, where in Default.aspx i have used the code you provided along with my modifications. 

Hope this helps. Thanks,

Hi revbones,

I took another look, and I think i found the issue (it's not about the TD's align=right) . The dropdown cannot be seen because the modal WebDialogWindow sets its z-index to a very high number, so that it can be always displayed on top - therefore the dropdown is displayed behind the dialog window. The solution is to set the dropdown container's z-index to a higher value than the z-index of the modal WebDialogWindow (which is by default 100 000). 

I have attached a sample project (WebSite)  - you can take a look at Default2.aspx, which uses your code, and the dropdown can be displayed correctly, after the modal WebdialogWindow is shown. Note the WebDropDown's Initialize ClientSideEvent handler, which sets the z-index of the dropdown . Also we need to make sure that EnableDropDownAsChild=false, so that the dropdown container will be absolutely positioned - another prerequisite for it being displayed above the modal  dialog window. 

                    <ClientEvents Initialize="initDropDown" />

Then in the handler I do :

 function initDropDown(sender,args)

      {

        sender.behavior.set_zIndex(200000);

      }

and then in the WebDropDown declaration in the aspx:  EnableDropDownAsChild=false 

Apart from that the only modification I have made is to also set a Width for the dropdown , but it also works without it.

Hope it helps,

Angel
