Worked for me. Just had to replace the double quotes in the style type line with single quotes.

Your fix worked for me! Glad I kept googling the problem, I don't have a CSS guru to help. Too bad Adobe can't fix this, after several years.

My page is hanging up when the function is called – using IE8, CF9 on a 64bit Win7 machine – not sure if that is relevant.

Any ideas?

This is a good fix for text input fields.
This won't fix the z order of a cfselect or select input.

A select form input control is presented to the web browser in a different way, if i remember rightly its part of the OS whilst other form controls are generated by the client browser. (Please correct me if i'm wrong).

If there is some magical code to get around this i would be most greatful.

The users were about to hang me over this issue. I kept telling them that Adobe will fix it. I twice reported this problem as a bug to Adobe for ColdFusion 9.

Though I could not get your script to work, the css example worked fine. Now the users are extremely happy. Thanks for this blog entry.

Hi all,

I don't know if this will help anyone, but I was having problems with the CF added floats. I had three fields in a list intending to have one field below another. Because of the CF added floats, they were all on one line. I added an

after each datefield cfinput and it cleared up the problem:

.clear-floats {
clear: both;
}

I hope it helps someone.

Never mind on my question above. It turns out that I had a header ul with a position of absolute that was preventing the autosuggest results from displaying.
