Crossframe cascading menus

[Jumpman]

--When it comes to actual Java Script writing, I am certainly no expert....But I am using JS Source's cascading menu (from Arun Kumar with external CSS and JS files). I have it in a separate, frozen frame at the top of my page, and of course the menu drops down into oblivion behind the lower frame!
Is there a special cross-frame tag that can fix this, or is there a unique, different menu script? I am personally no fan of the dynamic menu scripts that blink and stumble around as you scroll.....
Thanks

There won't be a clean solution to this.But you can try this.

have the menu in the main page.
set the z-index property of al the menu items very high,then create a div and set style attribute with z-index to be 1 .

now create the iframe in this div and set the width and heights to what you want.

I think*-* it will work..

thanks I'll try that, but what exactly is "z index"? rolleyes:

I don't think you can cross frames like that... but you can put the top frame in a fixed div instead to have almost the same effect.

Maybe I can clarify things a bit more.......
I'm pretty sure there is a way to have cascading menus appear at the top of another frame. Floating 'divs aren't really my thing;)

Well, yeah, that's possible if you use an iframe for the main page whose z-index is lower than the menu's.

I have found a different menu script that works with a frameset...It has pure java script as the frozen frames (not divs)
It seems a bit complicated though.
