i am using the jquery ui autocomplete widget inside the jquery ui dialog. when i type in the search text, the textbox indents (ui-autocomplet-loading) but does not show any suggestions.
var availableTags = ["c++", "java", "php", "coldfusion", "javascript", "asp", "ruby", "python", "c", "scala", "groovy", "haskell", "perl"];
$("#company").autocomplete({
source : availableTags ,
minLength: 2
});
company is the id of the textbox to attach the autocomplete.
i thought it might be a z index so i set this:
.ui-autocomplete, .ui-menu, .ui-menu-item { z-index: 1006; }
but it still does not show. i put the autocomplete in a 'regular' page and it works fine.
i am using jquery ui version 1.8.2. any ideas of where to look?
