Web Page Structure Dilemma

[karlmcauley]

hello,

I have a slight dilemma regarding the structure of a new web site and was wondering if someone could shed any light or ideas. I have a title image, a scroll bar and several drop down menus as part of a nav bar (which form an overall title image) - - - - i want this to appear on every page (much like a top frame). I want all information within these drop down menu items to appear directly below this title image.

i have tried a top frame which didnt really work because it hid most of the drop down items in the menu nav bar. If i lower the frame i also lower the top of the linked document......and it looks silly.

Is there another way to show/display linked menu items on the same page (just below the main title image as described above)??

Am i talking sense? Is it easy? Can someone assist?

Many thx in advance

It is really very hard to understand what you are trying to do without seeing a demo of it but let me offer this advice based on what I think you are trying to do.

I would use a dynamic cascading style method to reposition the information you want to appear under your title image like this:

<div id="menu" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:18px; z-index: 750;">

'your menu here

</div>

You can adjust both the left and top positions by either increasing the px or reducing them.
If this isn't the right answer, try and come up with a link so we can see and understand better what you are trying to do.

simflex...thx for your response....sorry for being confusing.....i will explain my self.

I've got a page that I want to display a title image (made up of a navigation bar). Its a javascript title image that can be displayed at the top of a document.

Ive tried to place it in a single frame page that displays the title image and a content frame. When the title image is placed in a separate frame, the drop down menus get hidden by the bottom frame. If I make the frame bigger then I can't get enough info in the content frame.

So I suppose I'm asking if you know a way of hovering the drop down menus over the page such that they hover over a different frame OR any other way of suitably displaying the linked document on the same page below the title image. Perhaps i could include the file at the top of every page i have on my website??

I've included a screenshot so that you can see what I mean - its not quite right but I wanted to make it obvious what I was talking about.

Thanks

Now I understand.
I have had a similar situation and the only workaround for me was to remove the top frame and just have the menu placed on every page.
This way when you click on a dropdown, the dropdown sits on the title bar.
Doing it this way shouldn't be a problem and it is going to have the same effect because to the user, the menu is on every page which is essentially what frame will do for you.
Sorry if this is not what you expect to hear.

Simflex,

Cheers for that, although not quite what i wanted to hear.....thought it may be possible but never mind.
