I have the latest version of the ToolKit DLL and the AutocompleteExtender's div selection box is getting hidden below a select box i have right below the textbox

Is there a way i can wire in a call to an existing javascript event i have in my project that will hide/show all the selects on the page when the div "pops up" and hides?     I remember reading in the past some fix about shimming in an iFrame under the popup div, but apparently this isn't written in there yet

 Hi,

Please try to specify the z-index of the select control to -1.

Hope this helps. 

IE 6 does not respect z-index on select boxes, that isn't the answer

Well, I was hoping that version 10606 of the Toolkit addresses this serious issue, but sadly, no...

Surely someone must know where to wire in an event to show/hide the <select> boxes when the AutoComplete's div tags shows/hides

Just to close this issue in case anyone else runs across this thread looking for help, i fixed this myself and will document it here

- Took the source for Toolkit version 10618
- Opened it in studio and went to project "SampleWebSite", and opened file "App_Code/AutoComplete.js"
- found the function named "hidePopup" and right below it added this function (~ line 360), which checks, albiet kinda "hack"-y, for IE 6 and hides or shows all select boxes

     hideSelects : function(i_Display) {
            if (typeof document.body.style.maxHeight == "undefined") {
                    var inputTags = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
                    for (var i=0; i < inputTags.length; i++) {
                            inputTags[i].style.visibility = i_Display;
                    }
            }
     },

    (don't forget that comma after the function is closed!

- inside the "_hideCompletionList" function, i added "this.hideSelects('visible');" to the line right above "this.hidePopup();" (~ line 330)
- inside the "_update" function, i added "this.hideSelects('hidden');" to the line right above "this.showPopup();" (~ line 770)
- Built the website
- Copied the AjaxControlToolkit.dll from this project into my own project

Now when the CompletionList shows, it'll hide all the <select> boxes and show them again when the list hides

i attached the fixed AutoCompete.cs file on this CodePlex issue item

Still Iam facing the same prob. Can anyone help me on this

 Here my solution. I hope this could help someone

Here the js code (it should be IE6 targetized):

        function AutoComplete_OnClientShown(sender,args)
        {
            if(!iefix)return    //ie6 only
            var oList = sender.get_completionList();
            var oSpan = oList.parentNode;
            var ifr = getChildObj(oSpan,"IFRAME");
            if(ifr)
                oSpan.removeChild(ifr);  //remove any previous generated iframe
            ifr=document.createElement("IFRAME");
            oSpan.appendChild(ifr);  //create the overlay iframe
            ifr.style.display="block";
            ifr.style.position="absolute";
            ifr.style.width = oList.style.width;
            ifr.style.height = oList.offsetHeight;
            ifr.style.left = oList.style.left;
            ifr.style.top = oList.style.top;
        }
        function AutoComplete_OnClientHiding(sender,args) {
            if(!iefix)return    //ie6 only
            var oList = sender.get_completionList();
            var oSpan = oList.parentNode;
            var ifr = getChildObj(oSpan,"IFRAME");
            if(ifr)
                oSpan.removeChild(ifr);
        }
        function getChildObj(oCont,tag) {
            for(var i = 0; i < oCont.childNodes.length; i++)    {           
                if(oCont.childNodes[i].tagName == tag)
                    return oCont.childNodes[i];
            }
            return false;
        }

...
        OnClientShown="AutoComplete_OnClientShown"
        OnClientHiding="AutoComplete_OnClientHiding"
...

In your CSS you must declare a z-index=1 to your completion list.
If you set CompletionListCssClass="completionList" :

.completionList 
{  
    z-index:1;
}
