Autocomplete suggestions appear in the wrong place

We are writing an ASP application using IE6 on Win XP Pro.

I have turned autocomplete on.  The list of suggestions pops up, just like
it should.  However, the list is some distance below the field to which it
refers rather than immediately adjacent.

The application has a deeply nested set of frames, pages, forms and tables.

I have noticed that the distance from the bottom of the input field to the
top of the autocomplete popup is the same as the distance from the top of the
form to the top of IE's rendering area (though this could be complete
coincidence, of course).

Any ideas how I can control the position of the autocomplete popup?

Thanks

I've just confirmed my hunch! I moved the frame/page/form/table containing
the input field farther down the display area and the autocomplete popup
moved the same, greater distance farther down too.

Not to worry.  It's a know problem with IE6
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926047) with a work-around
(http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread155082.html).
