PrimeNG dropdown hidden by dialog

I have an Angular2 app using PrimeNG components.

I want a dropdown inside a dialog box. However, when i have implemented this, the dropdown is cut off by the limit of the dialog box as shown in the screenshot below. What i want is for it to display above the dialog and have all the options visible.

enter image description here

It is only a small dialog and i do not want to create a large one for this as there will be lots of empty unused space.

My html code for this is as below:

<p-dialog header="Repack" [(visible)]="display" showEffect="fade" minHeight="200">
    <div class="row col-md-12" align="center">
        <button pButton (click)="viewRepack()" label="View Repack"></button>
    </div>
    <div class="row col-md-12"><strong>Edit Table Assignment: </strong></div>
    <p-dropdown [options]="tables" [(ngModel)]="selectedTable" [style]="{width: '100%'}"></p-dropdown>
    <button pButton label="Save" (click)="save()" style="float:right;margin-right:3px;margin-top:5px;"></button>
</p-dialog>

If anyone can offer any advice on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • It is necessary to add an attribute appendTo.

    e.g.

    <p-dropdown appendTo="body" [options]="tables" [(ngModel)]="selectedTable" [style]="{width: '100%'}"></p-dropdown>
