DropDown Menu & Frames Problem

[dalvin200]

Hi,

I am having a problem with getting a drop down menu appearing over the frame below.

To be precise - i have a frame at the top which just have the drop down menu in it (coded in javascript, which has each <div> having a style=&quot;z-index:1&quot.
the second frame underneat the drop down menu has all the text and form elements etc..
When i use the drop down menu, all the menu options in each <div> go behind the bottom frame (so i cant see the options)

how can i make it so that the menu options appear in front of the frame below ?

i already have the z-index:1 - do i need any properties set in the <frameset> ?

any help would be appreciated

ps : i'm using IE 5

Thank you

I don't think this can be done, even if you set the z-index, because the drop down menu and the part of the screen you want it to appear over, are on two seperate pages.

If you find a solution, let me know, cos I could use it myself.

ahh !! ok then !
just have to go with a collapsable sidemenu in a frame then
darn company !! hehe
frames are bad ! (except the fact that u dont need to replicate the code in every darn page - thats the only plus ! )

thanks anyway
