How to keep an autocomplete result on top of another frameset

I have a frames page with a header and a body just below it. The header frame is roughly 20px; about the height of a textbox which is exactly what I want. In this upper frame, I have a textbox with an autocomplete attached to it. What is happening is when I search for something in the textbox, the results from the autocomplete are dropping below the body frameset where the results can no longer be seen.

A frameset is exactly what the customer ordered so changing it is not an option.

Is there anything at all that I can do without lengthening the header frame to get the results from the autocomplete to show?

Thanks.

  • Frames are evil. I think you'll find that the customer didn't order a frameset, they ordered a particular functionality and it is up to you to decide how to make it work.

    If a client asks me to build something in a frameset I will refuse - there's always a better way.
