I am having a hard time with the new Alpha release of JQM not showing nested popups. For example, I am displaying a popup form that the user is supposed to fill out, if the server side validation fails, I want to display an error popup. I am finding that the error popup is not being shown. I suspect that it is being shown below the original popup.

function bindSongWriterInvite() {

    // Bind the click event of the invite button
    $("#invite-songwriter").click(function () {
        $("#songwriter-invite-popup").popup("open");
    });

    // Bind the invitation click event of the invite modal
    $("#songwriter-invite-invite").click(function () {
        if ($('#songwriter-invite').valid()) {
            $('#songwriter-invite-popup').popup('close');
            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                async: true,
                url: '/songwriter/jsoncreate',
                data: $('#songwriter-invite').serialize() + "&songName=" + $("#Song_Title").val(),
                success: function (response) {
                    if (response.state != "success") {
                        alert("Should be showing error dialog");
                        mobileBindErrorDialog(response.message);
                    }
                    else {
                        mobileBindErrorDialog("Success!");
                    }
                },
                failure: function () {
                    mobileBindErrorDialog("Failure!");
                },
                dataType: 'json'
            });
        }
    });

    // Bind the cancel click event of the invite modal
    $("#songwriter-invite-cancel").click(function () {
        $("#songwriter-invite-popup").popup("close");
    });
}

function mobileBindErrorDialog(errorMessage) {
    // Close all open popups.  This is a work around as the JQM Alpha does not
    // open new popups in front of all other popups.
    var error = $("<div></div>").append("<p>" + errorMessage + "</p>")
                                .popup();
    $(error).popup("open");
}

So, you can see that I attempt to show the error dialog regardless of whether the ajax post succeeds or fails. It just never shows up.

Anyone have any thoughts?
