    bad position of autocomplete list of input field

    Please help, IE 6.0 seems to hava a problem with input form autocomplete
    dropdown positioning.
    The dropdown list with last entries which appears normally right
    below the field but when used within an IFRAME it is offset far down from
    input field - seems the dropdown is moved down exactly same amount as
    IFRAME offset from the top of the main document.

    Simple example:
    <form method="get">
    <input type="text" name="Name" value="">
    </form>
    works ok here:
    Latest news coverage, email, free stock quotes, live scores and video are just the beginning. Discover more every day at Yahoo!


    but this example does not work when hosted in IFRAME :
    Latest news coverage, email, free stock quotes, live scores and video are just the beginning. Discover more every day at Yahoo!

    (simplified code here):

    <table border=1>
    <tr><td><B> HEADER </B></td></tr>
    <tr><td><ifra me src="inner.htm" ></iframe></td></tr> ...

    the autocomplete is moved down from it's form field.

    This works ok in Firefox. Anybody has a clue how to workaround it
    or fix it in my code?
    It looks very ugly in my project :(

    Thanks a lot!
    Kuba

      hard to name it a workaround but thanks :)

      Actually I found workaround just today but I have not tested if it
      would not spoil anything else on the page. Anyway I wont't tell
      it now not to suggest anyone with it and I wonder if any of MS experts
      would respond.

      Greetings,

        ok, no responses so I'll publish my findings.
        What seems to solve the problem (at least inthis particular case)
        is to add positioning style item to the IFRAME :

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

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

        Best Regards,
        Kuba
