IE7 cuts the overlapping control

[dharmbhav]

Hi,

I am facing a very typical problem that I would try to explain:

I have a user control, (built in .NET and that I didn't created it) that has an overlapping textbox (<input type="text"..) over a drop down list (<select ...).

The textbox has got a css:clip property and absolute-positioning applied to it. This gives an overall effect of a drop down list cum textbox.

The clever (!!) developer of this usercontrol has applied inline-styles on this control and because I am having the .dll file for the usercontrol, I cannot edit the inline styles.

Now the problem is, I want to decrease the size of this control. To do this I am using the "!important" keyword in my css style to override the width set by inline styles. This works fine in FF, but in IE, the drop down list doesn't appear below the trimmed area of the textbox. I believe that IE first applies the inline style, then applies the style with !important keyword, but while doing this, doesn't render the drop down list below the blank area formed by the difference of the old width and the new width of the textbox.

Any solution/hack would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Dharmesh
