The datepicker within the dialog box is obstructed

There seems to be an issue that I'm encountering:

Whenever I click on the datepicker input, the calendar appears overlapped. This is evident because when I hide the dialog, the calendar displays correctly:

I've attempted multiple solutions from StackOverflow related to z-index without success. The default z-index is specified as 10 but changing it with zIndexOffset didn't resolve the issue either. Here's the code snippet:

<dialog ng-if="controller.iView" class="rounded" style="position: fixed;width:750px;overflow-y: scroll;" id="feDialog">
  <div class="dialogHeader horizontalLayout">
    <span style="width:280px">Text:</span>
    <div class="flex"></div>
    <input type="text" style="width:100px; position: relative;" date-picker class="materialInput" ng-model="controller.date">
    <div class="materialButton colorButton" ng-click="controller.date = controller.getNowDate()">Today</div>
  </div>

  <div ng-if="controller.feDialogOpened" class="dialogContent flex verticalLayout">
    ...
  </div>
  <div class="buttons horizontalLayout">
    <div class="materialButton" ng-click="controller.closeFeDialog();">Cancel</div>
    <div class="flex"></div>
    <div class="materialButton disabledButton" ng-if="!controller.isValid()">Save</div>
    <div class="materialButton colorButton" ng-if="controller.isValid()" ng-click="controller.setState('state');f.closeFeDialog();">Save</div>
  </div>
</dialog>

The datePicker directive in Typescript is defined as follows:

app.directive('datePicker', function() {
  /** Dev notes: in comments is an attempt to enable dynamic limits */
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    /**scope: {
      limits: "=?"
    },*/
    link: function (scope: ng.IScope, element: JQuery, attrs: ng.IAttributes) {
      var view =  attrs.datePickerStartView || 'month';
      var minView = attrs.datePickerMinView || 'month';
      var format = attrs.datePickerFormat || 'dd/mm/yyyy';
      if (attrs.endDate === 'today') {
        attrs.endDate = moment().format('DD-MM-YYYY');
      }else if (attrs.endDate === 'none'){
        attrs.endDate = moment().add(1, 'years').format('DD-MM-YYYY');
      }else if(attrs.endDate != ''){
        attrs.endDate = attrs.endDate;
      }
      var endDate = attrs.endDate || new Date();

      if (attrs.startDate === 'today') {
        attrs.startDate = new Date();
      }
      var startDate = attrs.startDate || '01-01-1900';

      $(element)['datetimepicker']({
        format: format,
        endDate: endDate,
        startDate: startDate,
        autoclose: true,
        startView: view,
        minView: minView,
        language: 'es',
        todayBtn: attrs.unknownDate });

      // set input elements as readonly, so you cannot input free text.
      if (attrs.setReadonly) {
        $(element).find('input').attr('readonly', 'true');
      }
      /**
      scope.$watch(() => {
        return scope["limits"]
      }, (newVal,oldVal) => {
        if (!_.isEmpty(newVal)) {
          const min = scope["limits"].min
          const startDate = min ? moment(min).format('DD-MM-YYYY') : '01-01-1900'
          const max = scope["limits"].max
          const endDate = max ? moment(max).format('DD-MM-YYYY') : '01-01-2500'
          $(element)['datetimepicker']({
            endDate: endDate,
            startDate: startDate,
          });
        }
      })*/
    }
  };
});

The CSS classes used are:

.dialogHeader{
  color: #2A323F;
  margin: 15px 15px 0;
  font-size: 18px;
}

.horizontalLayout{
  display         : flex;
  flex-direction  : row;
  align-items     : center;
}

Answer №1

When aiming in the dark without a working example, the first thing to consider is the positioning of your initial element in the code...

<dialog ng-if="controller.iView" class="rounded" style="position: fixed;width:750px;overflow-y: scroll;" id="feDialog">

The element is set to a fixed position, meaning its starting point is determined by the closest Relative parent. This could be causing the incorrect positioning.

If needed, provide some functional code to demonstrate the issue. If not, you may have already found the solution on your own at that stage ;-)
