Error description

• Abstract:
  
  Attempts select a popup component from the IBM Enhanced Faces
  Components library will cause the background to become opaque.
  
  Problem:
  
  When you create a popup widget B using the IBM Enhanced Faces
  Components library which is in turn invoked by clicking on
  another widget A, you may find that the widget A will, along
  with the entire background, become invisible.
  
  Local fix or workaround:
  
  1. Define a new style in your JSP or XTHMTL as follows
  ?style type='text/css'?
     #HX_DLG_SCRATCH_0 { opacity: 0.5; }  //opacity to be set
  depending on your requirements.
  ?/style?
  
  2. Modify the ?h:form/? containing the widget which is popped up
  (widget B in the description above) as follows:
  ?h:form styleClass='form' id='form1' style='HX_DLG_SCRATCH_0'?
  
  A permanent workaround can be achieved by upgrading your JWL
  library to version 3.1.15
