[jQuery] autocomplete: positioning of the select box

[Fatih]

I am using the autocomplete plugin. Everything works fine, besides one
little problem.

How can I control the positioning of the select-box that contains the
autocomplete suggestions? I want to lower the select box a little bit,
and also want to move it a little bit to the left. This is because I
am using an image input field, and the borders of the input field in
the image are a little bit wider than the regular input field borders.

Any help is much appreciated.

I can solve the problem by modifying the autocomplete plugin to accept
optional yOffset parameters. But that seems to be a non-robust
solution. I am hoping that there are some tricks with styles that I
can put on my input field in order for the autocomplete plugin to
recognize them. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I decided to repost this question, because my previous post seems to
be missing the [autocomplete] tag.


I am using the autocomplete plugin successfully but have a little
problem with the absolute positioning of the select box. The select
box automatically positions to the bottom of the input field. But in
my case the borders of the input field is set to invisible, and I have
a border image around the input field (which is slightly larger than
the original border). The select box appears too high. How can I tell
the select box to appear below the image-border?

WTF the repost got into the previous discussion, again without the tag.
