Helper IIHow to Display a Dropdown Menu Outside the Frame of a Custom Visual in Power BI?
Hi DavidAnthony,
If you're using a rich component that requires custom HTML and JS behaviors, then these are clipped by the iframe sandbox, and you need to size the visual accordingly to make space for them.
Sandboxed iframes are a little more forgiving with native HTML form elements like <select/>, and these can overflow the container boundaries, e.g.:
The downsides are that native HTML elements are limited in their styling and functionality, which is why many alternatives exist. Modern browsers have since worked to improve the styling options which can help if your reasons and some UI frameworks have some nice component wrappers for the native select element (e.g., Fluent UI).
