jQuery Forum

This is a problem that only appears in FF for Mac. And it's a browser
rendering bug that occurs whenever an element is absolutely positioned
over another element that has overflow set to auto or scroll.
Although the problem is well documented (http://www.google.com/search?q=firefox+mac+scrollbar
), I haven't come across an elegant solution. If someone else has,
please let us all know. :)
The best that I've been able to do is change the underlying element's
overflow property to hidden when a dialog is positioned on top of it.

Something shold be done. The one way is to hide the scrollbars of
divs, the second way is here, I just played a bit width styles, and
found, that if inside of absolute positioned div a relative positioned
one, it covers the scrollbars, but after switching to another window
and back, the scrollbars comes throw again.
Here is my test

Now I have solved the problem with switching of windows, i just do
this onfocus and the absolute positioned div is ontop again
    $(window).focus(function(){
        $('#test').clone().remove().appendTo('body');
    });

Nice job!

Who is building the dialog plugin? Can he apply this to the dialog? i
am using this plugin, so I need this fix :)

Richard Worth and I work on the dialog plugin.
Your solution is invalid because you're cloning the element every time
the window gets focus, causing multiple copies of the element to exist
on the page.

sorry i have'nt seen that the old one is not removed, but it dosn't
matter, it was just an example, here I made some more tests, with 3
different way how to set the window ontop
http://ajaxsoft.de/test

Method 1 is still invalid (cloning the element will almost always be
an invalid solution). However, method 2 (if modified to not actually
change the final position) and method 3 seem reasonable. Thanks for
taking the time to find these other methods.

year, nice to hear that I could help:) actually I am using a lot of
jquery plugins, and would like to build some plugings for jquery ui.

Feel free to create a new thread with a suggestion for a plugin you'd
like to develop. The UI team will determine if the suggested plugin
fits in with jQuery UI. If it does, the next step would be for you to
begin developing it. Once you have enough code written to show it to
the UI team, they can determine if it meets the necessary standards.

I am interested in this solution as all. I was not able to come up
with anything different than Kof, however, am just adding in that none
of his solutions worked in FF 2.0.0.13/OS X 10.5.2. The scroll bar
appears over the div when scrolling and when the FF window loses/gains
focus.
