I'm using the modal overlay to display the search results on the same
page as the search string.

My navigation menu is on the left hand side of the screen.

After the user searches and the results displayed, the menu links no
longer operate (they behave like ordinary text).

The get back to working only if the user closes the search results
listing iframe using the close button, but that's not intuitive at
all.

How does the Google code achieve this ?

How can I ensure the links stay operable regardless of whether the
user closes the results listing ?

Can you provide a link so we can see this behavior in action?

Jeremy,
Yes
Please see http://www.safhs.org.uk/Q2/SAFHS_Surname_Search.asp

This behaviour happens with both IE7 and FF3. I haven't tried anything
else.

The problem isn't that the links are being disabled. Rather, it's
that the background div is being laid over top of them, so they aren't
accessible by the mouse. What you need to do is add this to your CSS:

.cse-overlay-bg{display:none;}

That will just shut the thing off so it's like it's not even there.

Thanks very much.
That worked fine.
