Autocomplete: Menu resizing should respect position.of option

[xinix00]

When using AutoCompletion plugin, the _resizeMenu function won't take options.position.of into account.

Lets say I've got the following situation: <div class='container-autocomplete' style='margin: 10px'>

<input type='text' />

</div>

$(".container-autocomplete input", element).autocomplete({

minLength: 0, position: {

of: $(this).parent(), This is the line we append the autocomplete to at: "left bottom-1"

});

The menu won't get resized to the position.of, but to the <input> tag.

AutoComplete _resizeMenu:

_resizeMenu: function() {

var ul = this.menu.element; ul.outerWidth( Math.max(

Firefox wraps long text (possibly a rounding bug) so we add 1px to avoid the wrapping (#7513) ul.width( "" ).outerWidth() + 1, this.options.position.of == null ? this.element.outerWidth() : this.options.position.of.outerWidth()

) );

},

I guess this solution suits better than the current one, which will give the size of the element itself instead of the element you want to position it on.

But this might also be a developer choise.

When not aligning to the input, do you even want it to match up with the of option or just take up the necessary space based on the suggestions?
