auto suggestion box is flying down in IE 8

3 New Member
check this page:
http://staging.gyst.com/

Here if you write something in first textbox the auto suggestion box is flying down to the page in IE8 only while is working fine in all other browsers. Please let me know if someone have any solution for this.

Thanks in advance.

Without thoroughly dissecting both your JS and CSS files I can't give you a definitive answer, but you could try giving the content holder below the autofill portion an absolute position with a LOWER z-index than the autofill boxes,

check the css and JS here:

<div class="auto_complete" id="keywords_auto_complete" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 48px; width: 387px; display: none;"></div>

// Autocompleter.Base handles all the autocompletion functionality
// that's independent of the data source for autocompletion. This
// includes drawing the autocompletion menu, observing keyboard
// and mouse events, and similar.
//
// Specific autocompleters need to provide, at the very least,
// a getUpdatedChoices function that will be invoked every time
// the text inside the monitored textbox changes. This method
// should get the text for which to provide autocompletion by
// invoking this.getToken(), NOT by directly accessing
// this.element.value. This is to allow incremental tokenized
// autocompletion. Specific auto-completion logic (AJAX, etc)
// belongs in getUpdatedChoices.
//
// Tokenized incremental autocompletion is enabled automatically
// when an autocompleter is instantiated with the 'tokens' option
// in the options parameter, e.g.:
// new Ajax.Autocompleter('id','upd', '/url/', { tokens: ',' });
// will incrementally autocomplete with a comma as the token.
// Additionally, ',' in the above example can be replaced with
// a token array, e.g. { tokens: [',', '\n'] } which
// enables autocompletion on multiple tokens. This is most
// useful when one of the tokens is \n (a newline), as it
// allows smart autocompletion after linebreaks.

// The constructor takes four parameters. The first two are, as usual,
// the id of the monitored textbox, and id of the autocompletion menu.
// The third is the array you want to autocomplete from, and the fourth
// is the options block.
//
// Extra local autocompletion options:
// - choices - How many autocompletion choices to offer
//
// - partialSearch - If false, the autocompleter will match entered
// text only at the beginning of strings in the
// autocomplete array. Defaults to true, which will
// match text at the beginning of any *word* in the
// strings in the autocomplete array. If you want to
// search anywhere in the string, additionally set
// the option fullSearch to true (default: off).
//
// - fullSsearch - Search anywhere in autocomplete array strings.
//
// - partialChars - How many characters to enter before triggering
// a partial match (unlike minChars, which defines
// how many characters are required to do any match
// at all). Defaults to 2.
//
// - ignoreCase - Whether to ignore case when autocompleting.
// Defaults to true.
//
// It's possible to pass in a custom function as the 'selector'
// option, if you prefer to write your own autocompletion logic.
// In that case, the other options above will not apply unless
// you support them.
