In am testing google API in IE browser using developer tools IE9 mode. The search result not showing but data is getting populated to the address fields. I spending hours to try and edit .pac-container and .pac-item. Nothing seems to be working. I could change color, width of dropdown using pac container, pac item but still address not visible to user eyes even though the data got filled up finally.
I am aware google api is not officaily supported for IE9. Before we inform all our users to upgrade their system, I am doing this as temporary workaround.
The Issue I see here is dropdown data is not visible to user, so i am thinking changing any css style would make it visible, remaining all functionality works fine.
