In Internet Explorer, I have a jquery combobox which opens behind an embedded object (for example a pdf document). How can I make sure the combobox is always in front of the emb
This is an IE issue. I had a similar problem using a combobox inside a modal dialog in JQuery UI. The combobox would work fine in Chrome or Firefox. The only way I found to resolve that issue is to place it inside an iframe
. I worked for me in the modal dialog.
IE and JQuery seem to work fine together as long as you don't do anything too fancy. I also tried placing a s select box in a modal dialog and it didn't work either. I avoid using two JQuery UI elements when they must be nested.
Since udalmik answered first, you should use his implementation.
