CSS Hide Background
I just found this css snippet to somewhat like disabling the elements behind if a dialog box appears. /* Enables to disable elements behind */ .somethingDialogUnderlayWrapper { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; z-index: 998; display: none; background: transparent; } /* colors to a disabled-color */ .somethingDialogUnderlay { background: #eeeeee; opacity: 0.5; }
