jquery ui autocomplete positioning wrong

Question

using jquery ui 1.8 trying autocomplete

Everything works apart from that the ui-menu isn\'t positioned under my input element, but rather in the top left corner.

Answer 1

I know this is an old post, but just had this issue myself and fixed it another way.

I had updated jQuery, which caused the menu to appear at left:0; top:0; on the window, rather than nicely below my input.

Updating jQuery UI fixed it instantly. Hope this is of use to someone.
