DOJO Dialog Box -- Making map in background to move

My website consist of a map.

When a DOJO dialog box appear, I cannot click the map, cannot zoom in or zoom out, and cannot move the map around. Basically, I can do nothing that appears in the background, but only can move the DOJO dialog box.

Is it possible for me to be able to zoom in or zoom out the map, click the map, move the map around with my DOJO dialog box showing on the website as well ?

Thank you.

I dont have any experience with DOJO but does your dialog box need to be launched with that?
Like could you not make your own Dialog Box by using a DIV with positioning = "fixed". That way it wont take focus away from your map which I assume is what the problem is.

Might want to look into Dojo's FloatingPane instead...? From the look of the API, there doesn't appear to be any standard way of using the Dialog in a non-modal mode.
