Second modal dialog disables input fields in first modal dialog.

[nbubna]

Open one modal dialog with form to create a new Foo. Entering invalid data triggers second modal dialog with error message. Once the second one is closed, you can no longer edit the fields in the first modal dialog to fix the error. Only tested in firefox.

Seems i'm not the first to find this: ​http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/browse_thread/thread/96e731e6a49fae5/53f54c04279f5427?lnk=gst&q=modal+dialogs+edit+fields#53f54c04279f5427

Appears to me that the $.ui.dialog.overlay.maxZ and $.ui.dialog.maxZ don't get corrected once the second dialog is closed. I'm not sure how to fix that.

[nbubna]

As a workaround, i called $firstModalDialog.dialog('moveToTop', true) once the second one is closed. That's about all the time i have for this today.

Ah, but just as i was about to move on, i noticed that moveToTop(true) is always called on open. So, on close, it is safe to always just revert the changes to the maxZ values when closing the topmost dialog. Just add this to the end of the close function:

if this was topmost, revert the last moveToTop call ​http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/4439 if ($.ui.dialog.maxZ == self.uiDialog.css('z-index')) {

$.ui.dialog.maxZ = --$.ui.dialog.overlay.maxZ; --$.ui.dialog.overlay.maxZ;

}

hmm. formatting issues...

        // if this was topmost, revert the last moveToTop call
        //  http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/4439
        if ($.ui.dialog.maxZ == self.uiDialog.css('z-index')) {
            $.ui.dialog.maxZ = --$.ui.dialog.overlay.maxZ;
            --$.ui.dialog.overlay.maxZ;
        }

Ok, i tested the bug and the fix in Internet Explorer also.

This is still a problem, please re-open this ticket.

Please provide a reduced test case showing that the problem exists.
