Positionning suggestionbox above inputtext

[Marine Wacheux]

Hello,

I am using a suggestionbox for an inputtext that resides in bottom of my screen (in a bottom fixed menu).
So, when suggestionbox open, I can't see it and choose an item, as it is displayed out of the window browser.

I would like that suggestionbox appear ABOVE input text.
How is it possible ?
I tried to put a style="top: 100px;" in suggestionbox tag, just for test, but "top" value is overwritten by a value computed when it is displayed, I think (which is logic !).

Thanks for any help.

I found a way to do that, by defining CSS styles like this :

div[id="myForm:mySuggestionBody"] div.rich-sb-ext-decor-1 {
top: -175px;
}

The value of 175px should be ajusted depending on the suggestion box height.
The only problem is that the shadow of suggestion box (that is the master div containing suggestion table) stay under the inputText, but I can't act on it directly.

I have a workaround the the horizontal position.

In the JSF-file:

<rich:suggestionbox height="200" width="500" style="width:0;"
id="suggestAutorFachkonzept_OnlyAjaxRequest"

style="width:0;" is very important. If you don't use it, you will get a white rectangle.

In the stylesheet-CSS:

#mainForm\3AsuggestAutorFachkonzept_OnlyAjaxRequest .dr-sb-ext-decor-1, #mainForm\3AsuggestAutorFachkonzept_OnlyAjaxRequest .dr-sb-shadow {
 margin-left: -334px;
}
