Category: core Group: 1.2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Karri-Pekka Laakso (kplaakso) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Autocomplete menu position is miscalculated Initial Comment: The current wicket-autocomplete.js relies on the fact that setting the CSS attribute "position: absolute" really positions the autocomplete menu in relation to the document or the body element. However, this is *not* how CSS positioning works. Absolute position is calculated relative to the nearest parent element of the current element that is positioned either absolutely or relatively. This means that for an absolutely positioned element, the coordinates set by object.style.left and object.style.top are not always in relation to the document top left cornert. In wicket-autocomplete.js the menu coordinates are calculated using offsets, which results in coordinates relative to the document body. However, if the autocomplete menu (the container div) is not a direct child of the body element and one its parents is either absolutely or relatively positioned, the menu is displaced by the difference of its relative coordinate system origo and the document origo. This is actually a very useful feature in CSS, since its possible to create new coordinate systems. In this case, however, it causes a minor challenge. My fix proposal is to generate the container div in JavaScript as a direct descendant of the body element. This is a de-facto standard JavaScript popup component trick that has been used in popup calendars, for example. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=684977&aid=1491547&group_id=119783 ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
