Hi Isomorphic,
I have an improvement suggestion for the positioning of SelectItem / ComboBoxItem dropdowns.
If possible, the Dropdown should not hide the SelectItem/ComboBoxItem itself.
If the value set in setPickListHeight() makes this impossible, you can't do anything about it. But in other cases, an improvement is possible.
What you currently do:
If the DD can't be placed below the item in full without hiding the item itself, you put the lower end to the bottom of the browser window and make it as high as required - hiding the item itself.
If the place above the item is more than below the item and sufficient to hold the whole DD, you could put the DD lower end to the top of the item.
This way, one can see the current selection when using the dropdown.
This is the normal way the browser (in my case FF11) handles a html select dropdown (see the "Notification Type" select when you edit a new entry in this forum).
Best regards,
Blama
