Hello, I'm using MDB pro 4.4, but I am having a problem with display suggestion's list in search form using auto-complete : search form: https://mdbootstrap.com/components/navbar/? autocomplete: https://mdbootstrap.com/components/bootstrap-autocomplete/ Look like the suggestion's list cannot expand the height of navbar. Could you please have a check.   Thank you.

You could try to reproduce with the following steps: - Paste the javascript's code of this page: https://mdbootstrap.com/components/bootstrap-autocomplete/ into the Devtools console's one of search form on this page: https://mdbootstrap.com/components/navbar/? - Please note that: there is no error in the console. The states' suggestion is well added right after search form, but it cannot be displayed. Thank you

Hello Rachad,

Please provide a snippet showing your autocomplete component used within the navbar, so I can better understand your problem. Please also take a look at my snippet : https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/jquery/marcin-luczak/2596355

@tannguyen I was trying to get this to work also. To do this until the fix:
  1. put an html id on the nav or form or your own custom css class
  2. add some custom styles to override the position:absolute; css, it works with static or relative.  Basically you want to target the form in your nav and then apply a position that is static or relative to your element.
  3. If you have set a height to the nav then this will just dropdown kind of like a dropdown would. If you haven't changed the mdb default nav height then the nav will expand as the drop down does.
Here is a quick fix that might help you: mdb _custom.scss if you are are using scss or wherever you store your custom scss styles #testnav { .mdb-autocomplete-wrap { position: static; } }

Hi there tannguyen, Apparently, the autocomplete component has not been designed to accompany the navbar, but as it seems a valuable feature to have, appropriate bug report and feature request has been issued. Thanks a ton! The Team shall decide whether to include it into next release. With Best Regards, Kuba

Hi Jakub, Thank you for reply. This would help me a lot if we have this feature in next release and support. Best Regards, Tan Nguyen.
