I have built a few popups - some using YUI dialog, some using panel. These get rendered correctly in FF, Windows Safari, Chrome. Please refer following screenshots:

However in IE 7, 9 & 10 the dialogs appear in a distorted manner sometimes and appear normally sometimes. See the screenshots below:

I am not able to figure out what goes wrong only sometimes in IE. I am using YUI version 2.7.0.
To see this in action, you can access this blog page. Hover on one of the thumbnails and click on preview/download/transmit buttons.

The blog url I provided above embeds the following url using an iframe.

I have noticed that if I directly access this url from IE, the dialogs appear to render alright! So I strongly feel that this is something to do with YUI dialogs being invoked within an iframe in IE. But I am not able to figure out how to overcome the problem. Any ideas?
Here is the code I am using for the preview dialog above - just in case that's of any help.
LargePreviewPopup =
{
popup: null,
init: function()
{
this.popup = new YAHOO.widget.Panel("LargePreviewPopup",
{
width: "380px",
height: "410px",
zIndex: 3000,
fixedcenter: true,
visible: false,
draggable: true,
modal: true,
constraintoviewport: false,
effect: { effect: YAHOO.widget.ContainerEffect.FADE, duration: 0.10 }
});
if (YAHOO.env.ua.ie > 0)
this.popup.cfg.setProperty("iframe", true);
PluginFix.showHidePlugins(this.popup);
this.popup.setHeader("NA");
this.popup.setBody("NA");
this.popup.render(document.body);
},
onShowLargePreviewClick: function(userId, captionId, height, width)
{
if (!this.popup)
this.init();
this.popup.setBody("<div class='ajaxloader'></div>");
this.popup.setHeader("Preview");
this.popup.hideEvent.subscribe(function()
{
LargePreviewPopup.popup.setBody("<div class='ajaxloader'></div>");
});
this.popup.cfg.setProperty("height", height + 57 + "px");
this.popup.cfg.setProperty("width", width + 35 + "px");
this.popup.show();
var cObj = Custom.Ajax.asyncRequest('GET',
'/embed/embed_operations.aspx?action=large_preview&user_id=' + userId + '&caption_id=' + captionId
+ '&h=' + height + '&w=' + width,
{
success: function(o)
{
LargePreviewPopup.popup.setBody(o.responseText);
}
});
}
};
For anyone who might be facing this problem - I could not figure this out using YUI. So I implemented my pop-ups using jquery-ui on IE. So on all the non-IE browsers I use YUI pop-ups while for IE this is done using jquery-ui.
