v1.2.6 Incompatibility with jqModal

[Myrlyn]

I've been using the jqModal for a few months now, and recently updated my copy of the jQuery library to v1.2.6. After upgrading I noticed that the z-index of the overlay isn't properly implimented. The effect is that the overlay only partially obscures elements within the page in IE. Most notably, form fields elements shine through and can be interacted with.

Rolling back to my older version of jQuery (v1.2.3), enables the plugin to work properly.

Jonathan: I assign it to you so you can check that. If you find a bug in jQuery, let me know.

Could you provide a test case ? a minimalistic html file with the requires html and js to reproduce the problem. Thanks.

Replying to Myrlyn:

Tracked down the problem... Needed to re-add " || undefined" from 1.2.3 to the end of this code snippet:

attr: function( name, value, type ) {
	var options = name;
	// Look for the case where we're accessing a style value
	if ( name.constructor == String )
		if ( value === undefined )
			return this[0] && jQuery[ type || "attr" ]( this[0], name ) || undefined;

jqModal bug Test Files with v1.2.6

[Myrlyn]

Here is a quick sample page you can use to see the defect in IE (we were testing with IE7). Doug was able to do some debugging this morning and correct the defect for our current copy of v1.2.6, but if you can integrate the necessary change into a new version of jQuery it would be appreciated.

Thanks, Keith
