What is it in the footer that is on top? A Flash movie or something?

I would look at fixing the thing that is on top, like with a Flash movie there is a parameter to make it windowless. You'd have to do some googling to find out how to do that as I'm no Flash guru.

I suspect you are having this problem in IE and it doesn't happen in other browsers.

One thing you could try that may help a little is:

1. Add this to the top of your theme.skin file:

<%@ Register Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" %>

2. a little further down add this:

<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender runat="server"
  PopupPosition="TopRight"
  />

Valid options are TopRight, TopLeft, BottomRight, BottomLeft, Left, Right, but it really just controls the position in relation to the textbox.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I don't think it will bring the bottom of the calendar up like that.

One low fi solution would be to add an instruction block question below the date and put a <p> <br /></p> maybe a few more of the brs as needed to pad the bottom of the form.

If this is on a public page I'd be curious to look at it.

Best,

Joe

I'm not seeing this problem in my testing, I'm using the jqueryui-1 skin and I put a Date question as the last one on a form and added an Html instance below it, and the datepicker correctly shows above other html, ie it is not behind the settings or edit button of the html feature.

Do you get this problem using other skins such as those that ship with mojoPortal or only using your custom skin?

I am able to reproduce this problem using the artisteer-greenlagoon skin, but so far a solution eludes me. I'll keep experimenting. googling I've found lots of people complaining of similar problems with the ajaxtoolkit calendar extender but so far none of the suggested solutions seems to actually solve it.

Best,

Joe
