Description
It looks like the work for #9805 does not handle IE (7 & 8) properly. Dialogs and tooltips will not render over an ActiveX control in IE.
Using the debugging tools provided with IE8, it appears that the BackgroundIFrame created does not have the expected height value, even thought the height CSS setting is set to 100%. The actual height is much less, causing only the top part of a dialog or tooltip to render over the ActiveX control.
To correct the problem, I modified code so that the bgiframe created will have the height set to an appropriate pixel value so the dialog/tooltip will render over the ActiveX control.
The size of the modifications is minor. Diff of changes based on subversion source is attached.

test_bgIframe.html looks like it's working to me on IE8. Can you attach a test case where this fails?

I added two screen shots using IE7 showing how a dialog and a tooltip are being obscured by the ActiveX control.
The ActiveX control is a CGM viewer. Since it is a licensed product, the control cannot be provided to others w/o a license.
Note, the application does have multiple panes for viewing content. One pane contains a TOC (via digit's Tree), one has textual-based content, and the other is the pane that contains the graphic/ActiveX control.
The application has nested containers and content panes, so it is possible that plays a role in the behavioral problem being seen. IE may not provide proper rendering of 100% height due to the complexity of DOM.

You'll need to attach some sort of test case (not necessarily using that control), I can't checkin a patch w/out a reproducible test case.

Closing for lack of test case.
I did however recently modify the !BackgroundIFrame to do explicit sizing whenever IE is in quirks mode, maybe that fixes the problem.
