Iframes and autocomplete

autocomplete displaced below iframe

If an IFrame contains a form with text input fields, IE's autocomplete dropdown is displaced. Instead of appearing directly below the input field, the dropdown suggestions appears just the below the bottom of the iframe. I've only tested this with IE6 on XP. Anybody know a work-around for this? (other than just turning off autocomplete)

I've seen this too and I could not find a workaround. I have a feeling that it's just a quirk of IE.

Thanks for the input, BlobFisk. You know, despite the fact that iframes have been around for several years, it seems that iframe bug reports are very scarce on the Net. So I assumed that iframe behaviour was quite consistent across different browsers and OS. But after discovering this quirk, I'm not quite so certain anymore.
