Overlay does not cover the whole screen on mobile devices

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using simpleModal on a mobile device in landscape mode, the gray overlay 
only seems to extend to the size of the screen. When scrolling down, the rest 
of the page is not covered and can be interacted with. This behaviour looks 
consistent across Android phones, the iPhone, iPad...

It seems you are already aware of the issue:

I have a quick/dirty patch idea accessible here: http://jsbin.com/ehetu4/16 
It's not fully tested but seems to fix it on an Android phone.

Cheers

It's not a true solution, but as a workaround, it gets me by for now:

I think i solved the problem:
i add a mobile detection like this :

var deviceAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isAppleMobile = deviceAgent.match(/(iphone|ipod|ipad)/i) != null;

then i change the getDimensions function like this :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
getDimensions: function () {
            var el = $(window);

            // fix a jQuery/Opera bug with determining the window height
            var h = $.browser.opera && $.browser.version > '9.5' && $.fn.jquery < '1.3'
                        || $.browser.opera && $.browser.version < '9.5' && $.fn.jquery > '1.2.6'
                ? el[0].innerHeight : el.height();

            //============> add
            if(isAppleMobile){
                w = $(document).width();    
            }else{
                w = el.width();
            }

            return [h, w];

            //===========>end 
        },
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i use $(document) for mobile devices instead of $(window)
