Trouble with Autocomplete text field in iframes

[sanjnair]

I have a page which has 3 iframes- top frame , left frame and middle frame. The middle frame has text fields for users to enter information into. Now when the autocomplete option is set on the browser, the drop down box appears around 50 to 100 pixels below the text , and not just below the text box as it should be.

Anybody knows how to fix the problem?

I see that this problem only happens when i Use Iframes, as i tried the typing in text without the iframe, and the autocomplete dropdown shows up perfectly under the text field.

Please do help me on this.

Thanks

Sanjeev

Chris,

The problem was sorted with a bit of style edit...:)

added positioning style item to the IFRAME :

style='position:relative;left:0px;top:0px;'

and the autocomplete box jumps back to it's correct position.

Thnx anyway

You should consider using div's instead of iframes they are much more stylable. Not sure stylable is a word but w/e.
