Launching modal dialog when the launcher window body has position:absolute in IE makes launcher page look corrupt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TRINIDAD-749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-749
             Project: MyFaces Trinidad
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Components
    Affects Versions: 1.2.2-core, 1.0.3-core
         Environment: Microsoft Windows XP SP2, Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.11
            Reporter: Matt Cooper
            Assignee: Matt Cooper
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.0.3-core


When launching a modal dialog in Trinidad using IE7, it will change the opacity of the body element to 50% to give the page a "disabled" appearance.

However, if there are other semi-opaque elements on the page and if the body uses absolute positioning, then those semi-opaque elements will be drawn as if they were opaque.  This will end up masking areas of the page that shouldn't be masked and give the appearance of the launching window as being corrupt.

Instead, the window launching code should not mess with the body element and instead overlay a DIV, achieving the desired appearance regardless of the presence of other semi-opaque elements on the page.
