rich ComboBox inside a scrollable div.

[simit_kul]

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem regarding rich comboBox and a div, as a parent to the table, which contains this comboBox.
eg -->
< div style="height: 200px; overflow:auto;">
< table>
<rich:comboBox id="someid" width="100px;"
directInputSuggestions="true">
<f:selectItem itemValue="1" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="2" />
</rich:comboBox>
</ table>
</ div>


Problem is, when I scroll the div, combobox leaves its position, as if its position is absolute and has z-index as -1. I didn't give it any style. Still something weird is happing. Has any body faced such problem before? Please Help me out.

Hi ilya,
Thanks for replying. But, I am sorry, I am new to this RichFaces and JBoss. Can you please explain, what do you mean by 3.3.1 Snapshots? Is it a jar, with some bug fixes??

follow the link in my signature and find "3.3.1-SNAPSHOT, Nightly Builds:"

hi Ilya,
I checked the link you mentioned. There is no such issue mentioned, like the one I am facing. I also tried 3.3.1 BETA jar. Still no success.
How come nobody faced this problem before?? Because I googled alot. But no answer yet.

hi ilya_shaikovsky,
Thank you so much for posting reply again, and showing interest in this problem. This seems as a problem in previous versions of RichFaces. But, I tried with 3.3.1Beta Jar.
(from http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/org/richfaces/ui/richfaces-ui/3.3.1.BETA1/)

Its still not working the way, it is expected. I am getting same problem. How come it works fine in FireFox 3.0.7??? How does only IE7 and IE6 have this problem? Also, does that issue includes, combo box position, without a suggetion box shown, for a specific user input???

Hi All,
Atlast I got solution for this problem. Just set div's style attribute
position as 'relative'. Thats it! It works like a charm. Anyways thanks ilya for ur replies.
