Guys,

I have a question in relation to DHTML menus. I have three frames. The top frame is the site banner. The bottom frame is the content. The middle frame is a DHTML menu showing the top level items. However, when I hove over the top level items, lower levels items cannot be seen as the frame is not big enough. Is there any code out there that will display DHTML drop downs over other frames. Mise Le Meas,

Mighty :)
 
I have seen such a menu -- however --

What I think it did was display the entire menu in another frame... i.e. the top frame was about 25 px and had the menu choices, and when you mousedOver one of them, the resulting pull down appeared in the bottom frame -- completely in the bottom frame positioned so it seemed as if it was all one seamless unit -- it was a very complicated script with having to target the other frame, etc... not anything I'd wanna have to implement.

I have read in several places that you cannot cross over frames as you have asked about -- but you know how most things are -- just have to look harder --

I believe the double framed thing I saw was at -- and if it's not there, then it's on one of the sites they link to --

:)
