BlockUI Issue with IE 8, 9 & 10 - Losing Text Selection/Location
in Using jQuery Plugins
•

The problem I'm facing is that once BlockUI is initiated, the text I had selected becomes un-selected and the cursor moves to the upper left corner (0,0) of my input area (ckeditor).
I'm using CKEditor and I've created a toolbar button that uses BlockUI to open a hidden div over top of my editor, asking the user to set some options for that selected text.
In Chrome, Firefox and IE 11, I select the text, click the toolbar button, the overlay comes up and I can interact with it, while under it, I can still see the text selected. In IE 8, 9 & 10, the text is no longer selected and I can tell my cursor position has re-set to the upper left of my input area.
I've tried setting "focusInput=false" and that works, but only until, I click some where on my div overlay.
I was thinking of ditching BlockUI for jQuery UI Modal Form, but before I invest the time in changing my code over (just to see if it works), I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone else has encountered this or has any ideas.
Background Note: In basic terms, my overlay div options turns the selected text into a hyperlink.
I've include a screen shot from Chrome as well as IE 9.
Thanks
Paul
