    placement of items in dropdown list

    I am testing with an evaluation copy of Cute Editor.
     
    Our implementation requires the page to be limited to a specific height. This enables content to scroll without the menu and top logo to scroll.
     
    To implement this, the editor is placed inside a table and the table is enclosed in a <div> tag.
     
    <div id="divContent" style="overflow:auto; height:430">
      <table>
          <tr>
             <td>
                <CE:Editor ID="Editor1" runat="server" FilesPath="~/Tools/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor" AutoConfigure="Full_noform">
                </CE:Editor>
             </td>
          </tr>
       <table>
    </div>
     
    The problem is that when you click on any dropdown on the Cute Editor(eg. Size), the list of items do not appear directly under the dropdown component. They list of font sizes appears lower down and to the right of of the actual dropdown that was selected.
     
    This happens only when the style is applied to the div.
     
    Is there any way to ensure that the dropdown and its contents are always linked?

    sunil1,
     
    The problem is caused by overflow:auto;. If you remove this tag, the list of items will display correctly.

    <div id="divContent" style="height:430"> 
       <CE:Editor id="Editor1" runat="server" ></CE:Editor>
     </div>
     
     
    Right now we are investigating this issue and will resolve it in the version 6.0 which will be released in September.
     
    A workaround to this issue is disabling the rich dropdown menus by setting Editor.RenderRichDropDown Property to false.

    Adam,
     
    Thank you for the response.
     
    I have now tested and confirmed that removing this tag does solve the problem. However, our particular implementation requires  overflow:auto or overflow:scroll  to be set.
     
    Setting the Editor.RenderRichDropDown Property to false seems like a workable solution for now.
     
    Thanks

    Re: placement of items in dropdown list

    Please note that this bug also affects the "insert table" control. The RenderRichDropDown property does not fix this problem.
     
    I have a master page with a scrollable div tag for content and this causes real problems.
     
    I read that you were looking to put in a fix for this in version 6. There is no mention on your website when version 6 will be released - do you have an idea when this will be?
     
    Thanks, Dom.
