Hi All, The autofill on my webpage sometimes appear so far from my actual input box. It is not the same in all pages though. I know autofill is the windows(IE) feature,what should i do to make the autofill feature on my pages to appear just under the actual input box. Any idea?
Thanks in advance

HI Iam afraid i am working on the local server and it's not online yet.
The autofill button works weirdly thought out all the computers on just one page. There are other login pages where the autofill popup at the right place. The funny thing is i have used the same code throught except for the names of the login.

this is code.....

<table border="2" bgcolor="silver" width="200" height="150" class="bluebold" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" bordercolor="#006699"><tr >

<td valign="top" colspan="2" height="20" bordercolor="silver" ><br>STEP 2:&nbsp;HOME OWNER LOGIN</td>
</tr><tr >
<td width="1" class="bluebold" bordercolor="silver">&nbsp;User&nbsp;Name&nbsp;</td>
<td width="1" bordercolor="silver"><input type="text" name="ownname" size="15" maxlength="15" class="txinput" tabindex="1" onclick="this.form.usrinput.value='LOGIN';"></td>
</tr><tr >
<td class="bluebold" bordercolor="silver">&nbsp;Password&nbsp;</td>
<td bordercolor="silver"><input type="password" name="ownpass" size="15" maxlength="15" class="txinput" tabindex="2"></td>
</tr><tr>
<td colspan="2" bordercolor="silver" align="center"><input type="submit" name="usrinput" value="LOGIN" class="suinput" tabindex="3" ></td>
</tr><tr><td colspan="2" class="messa" bordercolor="silver"><br><<message>></td></tr></table></span>
<table border="0" width="600" class="bluebold" align="center" >
<tr >
<td valign="top" align="center" colspan="2">
<br>WELCOME TO SHORTTERMLETS.COM - THE DEFINITIVE DIRECTORY TO ACCOMMODATION. </td></tr><tr ><td colspan="2"><table border="0" width="75%" class="text" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2"><tr><td>Three simple steps to post your property.<br>Step 1:&nbsp; Register as a Property Owner.<br>Step 2:&nbsp;Sign In<br>Step 3:&nbsp; Enter your property details and your property is posted on the web.</td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td><br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td ><table bgcolor="silver" border="1" width="200" height="150" class="text" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" bordercolor="#006699"><tr>

<td class="bluebold" align="center" height="20">STEP 1:&nbsp;NEW USER<br><br>
<input type="submit" name="usrinput" value="SIGNUP" class="suinput"></td>
</tr></table>
</td>

<td valign="middle"></td></tr></table>

sorry i missed this span tag right on top of the page.
<span style="position: absolute; top: 107px; left: 472px; width: 450px; height: 320px; visibility: visible; z-index: 5; overflow: hidden">
 
HI! that's what my confusion is...i haven't used any code for autofill and how come in one login page the autofill appears right below the login textbox and in another it appears just after the login button.
Should i be adding any tag to make sure it appears correctly? isn't it autofill windows(IE) feature?

i'm not following. what do you mean by autofill? i originally thought you had a button that a user could press to "auto fill" fields in your form, but i guess i was incorrect in that assumption.

HI ...I haven't used any code for the user to autofill. My autofill(in IE..Tools...InternetOption....Content...AutoComplete... the autocomple for forms is ticked) is on,,, so when i try to type something in a textbox(login field), it automatically pops up with possible option(previously used login names)... but just on one of my page, the autofill popup box comes quite far from where it normally appears.
I wonder if it's something to do with IFrame, because on this page it loads inside an iframe and the other it doesn't. Will that affect?
