Okay, in the end this turned out (somewhat annoyingly) a z-index time. I'm not sure what z-index a dialog that is displayed using the AjaxControlToolkit's ModalPopupExtender is given by default (the highest z-index I could see on the page was 10001).. but somewhere behind the scenes it was being given an attribute that meant that my popup suggestions (from the AutoCompleteExtender) always rendered behind the dialog (couldn't see this however until I returned enough results to get the suggestions apepar from beneath the dialog). In the end I had to override the z-index of the panel used as a dialog by the ModalPopupExtender AND the CompletionListCssClass of the AutoCompleteExtender thus.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
