What you need to do is basically this, if you want the script and the links to be in the top frame and the dropdown to show on the bottom page, you need to move the layer that will be shown by the link from the top page to the bottom page and then, in your script, point to the page that contains the layer. Basically say: "show the layer X that sits on page B" in your script (don't remember the code right off).

It worked for me, maybe you can use something from this.

Hi all...

Iv'e never had a problem with frames before as i never had to "overlap" them before - Ive got a head frame and a body frame

in the head.html page there is a javascript menu (mouseover, drop down menu with links) - thats working fine (when on its own)
The height of the head is 100 pixels, the body frame is the remainder- when i look at the index file with both frames, i can see the main links - but when i put my mouseover it, it hides behind the body frame....how do i get the head frame to overlap the body frame so that i can see the links when i mouse over

HTML below

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test</TITLE>
<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" rows="100,*" frameborder="0">
<frame name="top" scrolling="no" noresize src="head.html" target="middle">
<frame name="middle" src="top.html" scrolling="auto" noresize>
</HTML>

THANKS IN ADVANCE
