So, since I have a longer form that the user has to scroll, this is going to always happen?

I had to remove all of the plugins and now the user has to manual enter dates, they are annoyed.

I also noticed on IE with long forms it was flickering as they scrolled down the page, so I had to add a CSS in the afterShowForm to limit the height to 500px to force a scrollbar within the modal window.

Hello,

Actually this is not possible, because of using jqModal. The plugin try to focus the first input field when the dilog opens.

Regards

Tony

This is causing issues with my datePicker, colorPicker, and any custom modal dialogs I launch on top of the create/edit/view modal window.

If your form is long and you have to scroll down the page (not scrollbar inside form modal) and you try to use any div/layer plugins like datePicker or a customer .dialog it moves the screen postition to the first form element in the field and keeps the new dialog open, so you have to scroll back down and click again to close it.

If I could just eliminate the focus to first element whenever the form modal comes into focus itself that would be awesome. I've got a project launching in the next day, would be nice to get a quick response. Thanks!
