Layer on top of framespage

[dutch62]

Hi all,

I am working on a site with frames:

http://www.zakenkern.nl

My problem is this: in the leftframe (where the navigationbuttons are) I would like a layer to become visible on a mouseover for each button. For now, only the top-button is working. The layer is displayed but only part of it, because of the framewidth. What I would like is for the layer to appear * on top * of all the other frames. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be much appreciated

Try this script which will handle all this for you.

You see this script all over the place.

Thanks for you answer, but I don't want to create a menu structure, I just want a layer to become visible when the user mouses over one of my buttons. As far as I can see, this menuscript does not put layers on top of frames. It puts the mainmenus in one frame, and the submenus in a second. Or did I miss something?

I think I found the solution to my problem! The trick is, to define the frame that contains the main text as an inline frame. Next, on the page where the <iframe> tag is inserted, define a layer with a z-index, which will appear on top of the inline frame!

Intersting, so you are basically allowing the content in the iframe to fire events which display the z-index'd element in the parent page?

Experts are only people who have realized how much they will never know about a language.
