cfinput datefield in iframe issue

[Chr1ssy-hPcULm]

Hello, I have a form in an iframe and I need to use a popup calendar.  When I click on the icon it displays underneath the iframe borders.  I need it to display on top of the iframe.

Please help!

If it isn't possible to do with cfinput datefield let me know if there are options out there!

Thanks!!

Page one:

<iframe name="ifrm" scrolling="no" width="100" height="100" frameborder="0" src="https://www.mysite.com/form.cfm">
   [Browser does not support frames.]

</iframe>

Page two:

<cfform>

<cfinput type="datefield" name="Depart_Date" size="10">

</cfform>

When you click on the calendar icon it pops up but only displays part of the calendar as it falls underneath the frame.

Any help would be appreciated!!

I see.

Is it actually possible at all to have an iframe's contents overflow its borders?  It wouldn't surprise me if the answer is "no".  But I'm no expert on these things.

Why are you using an iframe here?  Could this problem be solved using a different approach entirely?

Not much help, sorry.

I am definitely open to going with a different approach.  I am using iframes because I need to include a form from another server.  I have coded both the form and the application where it is being inserted into, but it eventaully will be a widget where a different site can pop it into their site too.  So what would you recommend being the best solution on including code from another server?  Specifically a form.

Any advice is appreciated!!!!

Depending on permissions and connections, cfhttp, cffile, or possibly even cfinclude might be appropriate.
