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.

Another similar issue, if you're using a CDN to serve your jquery files, make sure you use a specific version, i.e.:

//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/

Rather than the 'latest' version:

//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/

This will take away the possibility of conflicts in future releases of jquery, which can often break an app when the 'latest' version on jquery is updated on the CDN.
