wrong positioning / resizing

SimpleModal or SimpleModal Contact Form (SMCF)?
latest SimpleModal 

Version of jQuery?
latest

Browser/OS you are experiencing the problem with?
every

Basicaly the problem is that I've got dynamic content inside simple modal, so I 
can't really set width, height in css and the plugin itself is somehow not able 
to count the sizes properly(only when there are images included it seems though)

Now after click on the image there, the content inside changes, so it needs 
both resize and reposition. So I've tried calling either or both 
$.modal.setContainerDimensions(); and $.modal.update(); the outcome is the same

Now what I've tried was to give #simplemodal-container width: auto !important; 
height: auto !important; it kinda worked, but it was not position correctly

after click on image there it was even worse(although only on first load, when 
I close it and open again, the modal after clicking on image is position 
correctly)

So, what I've done was leaving that auto height and width there and adding 
$.modal.setContainerDimensions(); to the end of open function, which somehow 
solved the problem, but I don' really think it's the proper and smooth solution.

Ok, nevermind, what I said that solved it didn't really solve anything..

Can you try the latest version (1.4.1) and let me know if you are still having 
issue...

I have the same problem with 1.4.1. 

I used simplemodal for something like simple image gallery consists of large 
image and clickable thumbnails changing the large picture.
1st wrong resizing - on modal.open (inner content includes floating divs)
2nd - on resizing of modal block (changing the picture)

I have the same problem with 1.4.2, but I've made some workaround.

The centering algorithm doesn't know the correct size of the image, so it fails.
If you pre-load the image before create the modal box using the load event from 
the image, it will center correctly.

var IMAGE = ""; // the image url
$("<img src='" + IMAGE + "'>").load(function(){
    $('#dialog').empty().append($(this)).modal();
});
