<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>Mike, I
guess I have one other lingering issue with blockUI that I hope you can help
with. I have a custom DOM element that I have been using as my blockUI overlay,
which I pass like so:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS"
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>$.blockUI(
$('#block-message') );</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS"
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS"
size=2>My overlay element is just a div containing a single h1 and an
input (type=button).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS"
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>What is
happening now is that it is removing the whole #block-message element after the
first $.unblockUI call. I can verify that it is deleted with Firebug, and future
calls to $.blockUI just show the transparent iFrame with no dialog.
</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=578293303-13042007><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2>I did try
to pass the dialog as a DOM element or a jQuery object, either declared in
a variable or passed directly to the function. Nothing seems to be
working.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
