dear all,
i am using JQuery-UI Autocomplete on the page. beneath the autocomplete, there is a DropDownList.

when browsed on IE6 , and when i write inside the input field of the autocomplete, the suggestions menu opens successfully, but it gets rendered behind the DDL...

i added this style to the same page having the autocomplete and DDL, but with no success:

CSS

.autocomplete{position : relative; z-index: 100 !important;}

p.s. : it works fine on Chrome...

thanks

Yes, that is what I meant...use developer tools and observe how it behaves and what classes are active while you type.

Updated the solution, there was a question on SO, it seems you have to use some plugin to avoid the problem (or at least see how it avoids it) - the link in the solution.

thanks, but it didn't work. it gave me an exception, and i am not sure if i used it right anyway.
shall i post a new question with the code and the exception message, since you haven't used bgiframe before?
