Jquery UI Modal Dialog doesnt let scroll

Question

I have a tall form in my dialog, and it has to be modal. Now when I try to scroll down, it doesnt let me. Have a look

Irrelevant Code Below(stackoverflow asks for code before submission)

$('#dialog').dialog({
modal: true,
});

Is this the way it is supposed to be? I mean, are the modal forms supposed to be visible with in a page or can this be fixed?

modals should be like that... at least that's common... what I can suggest is you put a scroll on your modal content...

give it a height... like this

$('#dialog').dialog({
    modal: true,
    height: 300
});
