Hello!

I have one left frame with a menu that opens it self like windows startmenu, using javascript. And then I have a rifht frame with the contents. The problem is that when I open the menu, it gets partly invisible due to the left frame size. I would like the menu to have a z-order that is above the htmlwindow, so htmlobjects can be placed regardless what frame it is on top of.. Is this possible?

THanks in advance

This is not possible.

Caveat: It might (very small percentage chance) that you could do this in IE6 only, but unsure as to how ;o)

I don't this that it is possible either...

However, here's another (but somewhat simpler) solution. Tested in IE 6 only:

Code: 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <TITLE>IFRAME Windows Look Alike</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" RIGHTMARGIN="0" BOTTOMMARGIN="0">
  <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%" STYLE="table-layout:fixed;">
    <TR>
      <TD VALIGN="TOP">
        <IFRAME SRC="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com"[/URL] WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%"></IFRAME>
      </TD>
    </TR>
    <TR HEIGHT="25">
      <TD>
        <SELECT>
          <OPTION VALUE="item1">Start
          <OPTION VALUE="item2">Another
          <OPTION VALUE="item3">The third
          <OPTION VALUE="item4">The fourth
          <OPTION VALUE="item5">The fifth
          <OPTION VALUE="item6">The sixth
        </SELECT>  
      </TD>
    </TR>
  </TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

The SELECT drop-down will stay on top and actually drop-"up" rather than -"down".....

Don't know if you can use it. Just a thought that came to mind!

Good Luck anyway §:O)
