Having trouble scrolling through autocomplete suggestions?

Check out my code snippet below:

HTML

<input type="text" id="txtCity" />
<div id="customDropdownCities" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0px; height:1px;"></div>  

CSS

.ui-widget-content a 
{
    color: #222222 !important;
    cursor: pointer !important;
    float: left !important;
    width: 100% !important;
    border:1px solid #ffffff;
}  

#myOwnMenuCities .ui-autocomplete 
{
    width: 200px !important;
    max-height: 150px;
    overflow:auto;
    padding-right:20px;
} 

JavaScript

var cityList = ["New York","Los Angeles","Chicago","Houston","Philadelphia"];
$('#txtCity').autocomplete({
    source: cityList,        
    appendTo: "#customDropdownCities"
});​

If you try to select an input, enter "a", and then choose the last item from the dropdown, it seems impossible. Can you figure out why? And any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Answer №1

When I deselect the "normalize CSS" option and reference the jQuery UI CSS link instead, everything functions smoothly: Code snippet

Answer №2

Resolved the issue by replacing float:left with display:block

Appreciate the assistance!
