Menus not visible

[Webskater]

I have created a series of menus that appear when you mouseover a series of hyperlinks at the top of a page. They work properly on the page but when they are incorporated into a frame at the top of a page (that only holds the navigation bar) they do not appear. They try to appear but will not drop down over the frame below them. Please help - I have spent hours and hours getting this working but now it is in a frame it won't appear. Thanks for any help.

if it's a javascript drop down thing then i dont think it's possible to get it to "escape" the frame that it exists in: ie the reason it aint spreading over the frame border.... is 'cos it cant.

They are a series of drop-down menus. Surely you must be able to tell the menus to appear in a different frame. I have seen one solution where you have to paste the code that creates your drop-down menus into every page that could appear in your 'contents' frame - which seems to defeat the purpose of the frameset in the first place.

In the hope of getting an answer can I add a bit more information. I have used Fireworks to create the code for the drop-down menus but I need the menus to display in a different frame from the hyperlinks that display the menus. There is a function that accepts x and y values (for left and top) to control where in the window the menus display. I need to get them to display in a different frame.
