If you have been living under a rock and have not had a chance to check out the spry widgets than I suggest you go do it now. The widgets are easy to use and configuration is a snap. There is a bug when using the Auto Suggest widget in MSIE6. When the auto suggest list pops up you are unable to use your mouse to select the item. Everything seems to work fine for me in IE7, FF & Safari so I am pretty sure that it is a IE6 specific issue. Here is a screen shot and a link to the sample.

Now that you know what the problem is I would like to share with you the fix that was posted. I found this while digging through the spry forums. To fix the problem simply open up the SpryAutoSuggest.css file and find the class hideSuggestClass. All you hanave to do is add a new z-index property and give it a value of 1011. The default class should now look like this.

view plain print about
1<style>
2.hideSuggestClass{
3    border: 2px solid #999999;
4    background-color: white;
5    height: 75px;
6    overflow:auto;
7    display:none;
8    width: 250px;
9    margin: 0px;
10    cursor: pointer;
11    z-index: 1011;
12}
13</style>
