Topic awaiting preservation: Drop-down-menu problems.. (Page 1 of 1)

How do you make theese dropdown-menus appear in the middle frame
instead of the top frame since they disappear "behind" the main frame as it is right now.

Can I adress them to appear in the main frame with some javascript?
Any suggestions appriciated.

Well, I don't understand why you're using frames.

But if you were using <DIV>, you could just set the z-index

Layers *can't* span across frames (setting zIndex won't make any difference)...

yep, they can't span across frames... but if you really want to, you could make a copy of the layers from the top frame in the middle frame

I'm using frames because I want the main area to stay centered on the screen
and I just wants to reload the stuff in the main frame when I switch pages.

I guess one solution would be to put the menu and the drop-downs at the top on
every main-frame-page and remove the top-frame completly... Not the most efficient
solution but I guess it would work... hmm..

Thats pretty much why iframes where invented. It wont work on NS but it'll make a lot easier to do what you want. You could always put a <script src="menu.js"></script> in every page that uses document.write to stick in the menu divs. Do a google search for iframes if you dont already know about them. Though , Emporer is gonna step in and tell us both that frames of any kind are the devil.

Hmm, Iframes you say.. I'll check it out. Thanks!
But according to this site it is working on NS too.

Oops, forgot the url,
This site I mean:

IFrames don't work in Netscape 4, but they work in Netscape 6+...

Yea, when I said Ns I meant Netscape 4, I call NS6, NS6 or gecko or a Mozilla.
