Hi,
this happens because of <iron-dropdown>
places its overlay element inside itself – it becomes overlapped by the other row elements in the <iron-list>
that have their own stacking contexts because of translating.
This is a fundamental issue that affects all components using <iron-dropdown>
like <paper-menu>
. I suggest using <vaadin-combo-box>
which doesn't have this problem.
Thanks for the information. I can't use vaadin-combo-box because it doesn't support remote data (at least to the best of my knowledge). I am searching against a database via ajax to filter the information. Do you know of any other component that would permit me to do that and work well with iron-data-table?
vaadin-combo-box
is the only component I know of that handles overlays so that they work within translated elements like iron-list
and iron-data-table
Remote data is on the backlog: https://github.com/vaadin/vaadin-combo-box/issues/260 – meanwhile, you might be able to make a remote datasource work with the custom input element feature just released in 1.1.
Try hooking up an iron-ajax
to the items
property and trigger it to query for data when the value on your input changes.
@joebordes you can listen for iron-overlay-opened
event and then set the z-index
property of the corresponding iron-list
item to 1 as mentioned here.
@Saulis thanks for the pointer, I will give that a try and update the issue. Feel free to close whenever you consider.
@web-padawan that definitely helped. I played around a bit and achieved something but I'm afraid I don't know enough to fix it completely. I will keep trying. I forked and updated plunker with my latest changes (mostly CSS and the patch you reference above).
Hi,
I am trying to put a paper-typeahead-input inside a cell. In general I am putting all types of inputs with great success but this component has it's values hidden under the cell.
I created a ticket on that repository but since I am not sure where the problem is I thought I would report it here also, just in case.

Thanks
