View:
<p:dialog header="Search in code tables" widgetVar="dlg" resizable="true">
<p:selectOneMenu id="tableId" value="#{xxx.tableId}"
required="true" label="tableId">
<f:selectItems value="#{xxx.tables}" ></f:selectItems>
</p:selectOneMenu>
The z-index for the dialog causes the menu options to hide behind it.
I am following standard example from Primefaces showcase:
http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/overlay/dialog/loginDemo.xhtml
This appears to be a know n issue http://forum.primefaces.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=33972
Can someone suggest a proper fix.
