   beforeShow: function (textbox, instance) {
       var txtBoxOffset = $(this).offset();
       var top = txtBoxOffset.top;
       var left = txtBoxOffset.left;
       var textBoxWidth = $(this).outerWidth();
       console.log('top: ' + top + 'left: ' + left);
               setTimeout(function () {
                   instance.dpDiv.css({
                       top: top-190, //you can adjust this value accordingly
                       left: left + textBoxWidth//show at the end of textBox
