            The following script can be used to work-around the Liferay "style='position: relative;'" issue.
            This script is safe to call many times so it can be added to each ICEfaces portlet as required:


            if (Liferay.Columns && !Liferay.Columns._ICE_positionSet) {
             Liferay.Util.actsAsAspect(Liferay.Columns);
             Liferay.Columns.after(
             'add',
             function(portlet) {
             jQuery(portlet).css('position', 'static');
             }
             );
            Liferay.Columns._ICE_positionSet = true;
            }

            Description

            Certain component elements are positioned incorrectly when running as portlets in Liferay. The behavior is only manifested when signed in - not when using Liferay as a guest. The problem is that the dynamically positioned components - like submenus, draggable ghosts, tooltips, popupPanel etc. - are much farther down the page than the mouse. The offset calculation is off by a wide margin.

            The cause of this problem is a behavior in Liferay that injects relative positioning into a style attribute on the page container when you login, apparently to support LIferay's own drag and drop mechanism.

            Liferay is going to be changing this behavior in their upcoming 5.1 release, but you can use the workaround noted here in the meantime.
