How to allow absolutely-positioned elements to overlap accordion boundaries?

How to allow absolutely-positioned elements to overlap accordion boundaries?


Hey everyone,
I'm experimenting with the accordion widget for a new project and have
run into a snag. Within my accordion containers, I have a couple of
simple custom dropdown controls that are absolutely positioned
relative to their relatively positioned parent elements. This works
fine elsewhere on the site, but when I dropped them into the smaller
accordion container, they seem to trigger the overflow on the
accordion container and a scrollbar renders rather than allowing the
dropdown to overlap the boundary.
I'm not sure I'm doing a very good job of explaining the issue, so
maybe a screenshot will help:

Is there a way around this behavior? Oh, and I'm using fillSpace
FWIW.
Thanks,
Jason
