Drop-down menu java in a frames page

[anoric]

Hi everyone!
Would really appreciate a little tip on how to solve my problem.

I have a hierarchy menu (works beautifully), but in a frames page it somehow gets hidden by one of the frames.

Any ideas as to what I can do about it? Please?

Thanks!

Check if the position of the menu is absolute. If it is, try moving it around and see if that helps. If that isn't it, I'm not really sure what to tell you...

[anoric]

yes, the position is absolute. And I have moved it around, but nothing helps. Isn't there any tag that defines frames (like layers, for example) and say which one is on top, or something like it...

Thanks!

You should be able to change all of that in the <frameset> But, it shouldn't put any frame over the top of another frame. It is supposed to split the page and put both the frames on part of the page. Also, is the entire menu inside of a <div> tag? If it is, you should be able to change that one tag's position to relative and that might help. Otherwise you could give me a link or something, and I'll check if I can find anything...

here is one of the two javascripts.

Adambrill,

Well, all this is is the javascript part of it. I don't know how to have it generate a menu unless you send the HTML part of the code. One other thing. Is the menu at all visible? Can you not see any of it, or does it show most of it, but the rest goes under the frame? And, is the menu on the top of this link the one that you are trying to get to work? http://www.superedition.com/Main.asp?Page=Tutorials&query=Javascript

[anoric]

yes, the menu is visible, depending on the height of the top frame, you can see the drop-down submenues. If I have a top frame 150px high, then all of it shows. But I need it 75px high...

did you see the link I sent to you? it's in your private message inbox

thanks

PS and yes, it is the superedition's menu. I tried contacting him, but he(or she) did not reply.


PS the two previous js scripts are linked to the page and you have this code in the body:

<script language="Javascript">
<!--
AddMenu("1" , "1" , "Home" , "" , "" , "main.htm", "");

AddMenu("2" , "2" , "Who's Who" , "" , "" , "who.htm", "");
AddMenu("3" , "2" , "Sponsors" , "" , "" , "sponsors.htm", "");
AddMenu("4" , "2" , "Biographies" , "" , "" , "bios.htm", "");
AddMenu("5" , "2" , "Map" , "" , "" , "map.htm", "");

AddMenu("6" , "6" , "Virtual Symposium" , "" , "" , "vsymp.htm", "");

AddMenu("7" , "6" , "Agenda" , "" , "" , "agenda.htm", "");
AddMenu("8" , "6" , "Documents" , "" , "" , "docs.htm", "");
AddMenu("9" , "6" , "Discussions" , "" , "" , "forum.htm", "");
AddMenu("10" , "6" , "Interviews" , "" , "" , "audiovideo.htm", "");
AddMenu("11" , "6" , "Logistics" , "" , "" , "logistics.htm", "");


AddMenu("12" , "12" , "Capacity Development" , "" , "" , "capdev.htm", "");
AddMenu("13" , "12" , "Publications" , "" , "" , "publications.htm", "");
AddMenu("14" , "12" , "Projects/Videos" , "" , "" , "http://www.virtualexhibit.net/new/globalShowcase.php", "");
AddMenu("15" , "12" , "Information" , "" , "" , "info.htm", "");
AddMenu("16" , "16" , "News" , "" , "" , "news.htm", "");

Build();

</script>
