<DIV> tag not allowing AutoCompleteExtender's autoDrop down to appear fully

[Manikrag]

Hi Team,

I searched a lot on this but could not find anything, so I am posting it here.

I am using an AutoCompleteExtender in a user control which is in a master page. The page layout is designed byDIV tags. My code in that user control is somehting like..
----------------------------

<DIV>
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="160px"></asp:TextBox>
        <cc1:AutoCompleteExtender ID="AutoCompleteExtender1" runat="server" MinimumPrefixLength="1" 
        ServiceMethod="GetVendors" CompletionListItemCssClass="listItem" CompletionListCssClass="completionListElement" CompletionListHighlightedItemCssClass="highlightedListItem" ServicePath="http://webtest.ariba.com/ajax/webservice.asmx" 
        TargetControlID="TextBox1" OnClientItemSelected="Test"> </cc1:AutoCompleteExtender>
          <asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Click" Text="Search" />
</DIV>
 
<div>Rest of the page with multiple div tags</div> 

----------------------------
When I type anything in the textbox, the auto dropdown does not appear fully becasue 2nd DIV tag hides or overlap the dropdown.

Please help me,

Thanks,
Manik

Could you please post the CSS styles applied to the <div>'s you're talking about here?

Thanks for responding buddy!

Sure, here we go!
-----------------------
<style type="text/css">
.completionListElement
{

visibility : 0;
margin : 0px! important;

background-color : white;
color : black;

border : solid 1px gray;
cursor : hand;

text-align : left;
list-style-type : none;

font-family : Verdana;
font-size: 11px;

padding : 0;
z-index : 20;

}

.listItem

{

padding: 1px;
z-index: 20;

background-color: white;
}

.highlightedListItem

{

color : black;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;

Sorry I misunderstood it. No CSS for DIV tags, DIV tags are as following..


<div style="float: left; border: px #c0c0c0; background-color:#cccccc; width:100%;">

<div style="float: left;"></div>


<div style="float: right; height: 60px; overflow: hidden; width: 360px;">
<div style="float: right; height: 35px; padding: 2px 5px 10px 1px;"> </div>

and goes on..

I'm think it has to do with the float styles.
Between the top <div> and the rest of the content place the following

<div sytle="clear:both"></div>


This will make sure that the top <div> stays at the top and the ones below it say below it.

Thanks Frinavale. It is fixed by removing "overflow: hidden;" from

<div style="float: right; height: 60px; overflow: hidden; width: 360px;


Thanks a lot!!

Hmm, guess I was wrong about the float styles.

Glad you solved the problem :)

Great it helped you too.

@RebeccaLouise
Well at least it helped someone :)

Normally with these kinds of problems it's always some css style setting that is the culprit of the problem.

Cheers!
