1) I have a webpage that contains an iframe. The iframe is scrollable.
2) I have the main body of the page responding to onmouseup clicks:
<body onmouseup="hideMenus(event)">
And I have the main body of the child page (displayed in the iframe) also responding to onmouseup clicks:
<body onmouseup="parent.hideMenus(event)">
So clicks on both pages result in hideMenu() on the parent page being called.
Now when the scroll bars on the iframe become visible (due to large amounts of content), I click on the scroll bar, and the hideMenus() function does not respond. I guess the scroll bar is not recognized as part of either the parent page or the iframe's page. I tried adding
onmouseup="hideMenus(event)"
to the iframe but that didn't help.
How can I get mouse clicks on the iframe's scroll bar to result in hideMenu being called?
i couldnt find a link in the menus that would present scrollbars so I couldnt experiment, but more importantly, I feel I should point out, with the way you have coded this the site completely breaks if you do not have javascript turned on.

1. You only "need" javascript because youve built dropdown menus that rely on it. this is not good.
2. The way you are doing this is very bad for SEO reasons and search result reasons
3. a site should alwasy be coded first to work without javascript, then enhanced with javascript also for SEO reason (example no title tags in the headers of all of your child pages), and accessibility reasons.
4. It's ALWAYS complicated, if it was easy everyone woul ddevelop their own sites . ( could you be more specific?)
5. loading your content via ajax will sovle your scrolling issues as the content will fill the container properly, without scroll bars.
oh and containing your header tags in paragraphs is completely uneeded and also invalid. a header tag is already a block element so it doesnt need to be contained in a paragraph ( I know you didnt ask about this but it came up as an isue on most of your pages when I ran them trough validation)
I appreciate the help, but you're not taking into consideration budget contraints and client requirements.

The client wants drop down menus. Is there another way to do this without javascript?

Budget contraints for one: I don't have time to re-develop the site to use AJAX calls and divs (although I will certainly consider this for next time).

The client wants scrolling for the content pane. Rebuilding the whole infrastructure of the site is not in the budget. Also, doesn't AJAX use javascript?

I'm interested in hearing more about this. I'm not sure what you mean by "paragraphs". What paragraphs?

This works if the user actually scrolls, but what if the user just clicks on the scroll bar?
