Cascading Menus cross frames?

[thamatrixhazu]

I recent found some javascript code that creates cascading menus. Does anyone know how to make the menus jump frames? I have a cross frame DHTML version, but the javascript version is much smaller. Can anyone help me?

You'd have to change everywhere in the code where an element is being referred to in a different frame to parent.frameName.document rather than just document. You would also have to change anywhere a function in a different frame is being called to parent.frameName.functionName() instead of just functionName(). For some reason I have a feeling that isn't going to help you much though...

Thanks for the tip. So far I haven't noticed anywhere where it refers to the the frames since this code that I have wasn't set up for that. I'll play around with it though. Have you have made a cascading javascript menu where it the hoovers show up in a different frame?

I haven't ever actually used one before on any site I've worked on. I'm personally extreamly biased against frames ;). However, I helped someone else out on a cross-frame DHTML menu in the DHTML forum in this thread:

Amen brotha ... I hate frames too. I had this laid out a completely different way, then management tells me to do it in frames! Typical. I'll keep pluggin away at it. Thanks for the input.
