thanx, but it doesn't help to control vertical positioning of the
message within the element-blocked area. I already tried all margin-
top and top combinations, of course including negative. Setting "top"
to a constant value works when blocking the whole page (as
demonstrated on
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/block/css.html), but not
a custom area - where only % more or less work, but because the area
I'm blocking is of a variable height, it doesn't help either. No
matter how I experiment, the message still pops up in different
locations depending on the area's height at this particular moment.
And because I need a constant offset from the top of the blocked area,
currently the only solution that works for me is commenting a line in
the BlockUI source code. :( Ugh :(
