Autocomplete: append item list to input instead of body

Description

The documentation seems to imply the item list will be appended to the input tag (excerpt pasted below). But the item list is appended to the body. This will often cause the item list to be outside of the div containing the input, which can cause style problems. Would it be better to append the item list to the input?

==== Sample markup with jQuery UI CSS Framework classes

<input class="ui-autocomplete-input"/> <ul class="ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all">

<li class="ui-menu-item">

<a class="ui-corner-all">item 1</a>

</li> <li class="ui-menu-item">

<a class="ui-corner-all">item 2</a>

</li> <li class="ui-menu-item">

<a class="ui-corner-all">item 3</a>

</li>

</ul>

The element has to be placed at the end of the body to ensure it is the top-most displayed element. In IE, DOM order trumps z-index.
