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.

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.
