[jQuery] jqModal Overlay issue

[jQuery] jqModal Overlay issue


I'm using the latest version of jqModal (r11). On IE7, the overlay is
not transparent in any way (solid grey). In addition, it is being
inserted before my page content and pushing the page content down. So,
if I scroll down, I can still interact with my page elements.
On FF, this works as it should - transparent overlay (with an opacity
set accordingly), original content visible UNDER the overlay, and can't
interact with the original content.
It looks like there have been similar issues reported with the opacity
of the overlay. But I was unable to find any of the "fixes" in my
history. Also, I didn't see any mention of the problem of the content
being pushed down....
Any tips? Thanks.
