Hi there,

Since you solved my last problem so quickly I thought I'd give you guys a go with another one.

Again on www.wsmcms.com, we have an autocomplete box "Shop by market". In Firefox, Opera & Safari when the hidden suggestionsBox class begins to suggest it causes the rest of my content to move.

Try it by simply typing "s" in the box.

I've played around with z-index but had no luck.

Any suggestions?

The suggestions box needs to be absolutely positioned. So put a position: absolute on that and have the parent element positioned relative. That way the suggestions box will be positioned absolutely relative to the parent element.
