Editor popups showing behind bootstrap modal window

rgfirefly242

I am using the DataTable + editor in a bootstrap modal window. I can use inline edit with it, but if I set a field to datetime the datetime picker shows up behind the modal window. Also, if i use standard edit or bubble edit those windows show behind the modal as well. It appears to be a z-index issue between bootstrap and the editor; however, I'm having issues resetting the z-index in order to allow them to appear above. It appears that the editor is anchoring to the main page instead of the modal that it's included in. Is there a way to override the z-index of the editor or set it to anchor to the modal window so that the popups show above?

I had something very similar a while ago. I had to edit the datatables.css file to get it working. Eventually Allan fixed it in the next release.

"It appears that the editor is anchoring to the main page instead of the modal that it's included in. Is there a way to override the z-index of the editor or set it to anchor to the modal window so that the popups show above?"

Maybe Allan can help you out with a better solution next week. For the time being I could only suggest to override the Editor CSS with your own.

These look like the relevant CSS entries for overriding:

div.DTE_Bubble {
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 11;
  margin-top: -6px;
  opacity: 0;
}

div.DTE_Bubble div.DTE_Bubble_Liner div.DTE_Bubble_Close {
  position: absolute;
  top: -11px;
  right: -11px;
  width: 22px;
  height: 22px;
  border: 2px solid white;
  background-color: black;
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 15px;
  cursor: pointer;
  z-index: 12;
  box-shadow: 2px 2px 6px #111;
}

div.DTE_Bubble_Background {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
  /* Fallback */
  background: -ms-radial-gradient(center, ellipse farthest-corner, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 100%);
  /* IE10 Consumer Preview */
  background: -moz-radial-gradient(center, ellipse farthest-corner, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 100%);
  /* Firefox */
  background: -o-radial-gradient(center, ellipse farthest-corner, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 100%);
  /* Opera */
  background: -webkit-gradient(radial, center center, 0, center center, 497, color-stop(0, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)), color-stop(1, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7)));
  /* Webkit (Safari/Chrome 10) */
  background: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, ellipse farthest-corner, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 100%);
  /* Webkit (Chrome 11+) */
  background: radial-gradient(ellipse farthest-corner at center, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 100%);
  /* W3C Markup, IE10 Release Preview */
  z-index: 10;
}

div.DTE_Bubble_Background {
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  z-index: 10;
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}

div.editor-datetime {
  position: absolute;
  background-color: white;
  z-index: 2050;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  box-shadow: 0 5px 15px -5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
  padding-bottom: 5px;
}

It is almost certainly a z-index issue. This example for Bootstrap 3 appears to work no problem. Have you altered your z-indexes for the Bootstrap modal perhaps?

Can you give me a link to a test page?

Thanks,
Allan
