jQuery tabs interfering with SimpleModal in IE

Question

I have a page that has two tabs created using jQuery, and I am also using Eric Martin's SimpleModal plugin. However when I am in IE7, the SimpleModal overlay is appearing completely opaque, and not the 50% opacity I wanted. If I remove the tabbing, the modals appear just fine. I looked at the overlay style info in IE Dev Toolbar and it shows the overlay style as 50%, even though it is not showing that way.

Answer 1

Without more code it's tough to tell.

I would recommend using the jQuery UI Dialog if you can. They're both made by the UI team and should work fine together.

Answer 2

Hello - Eric Martin here ;)

Do you have a link or any sample code? I use tabs and SimpleModal in a number of places and have not had any issues...
