Paul,
It's impossible to overlay a layer over a multiple frames. In order to have
something appear over multiple frames, you'd need to use an ActiveX control
or some other external control that's not bound to the browser window. The
one thing you can do-but it's a big pain, is to have you're main topics in
frame 1 then have the actual layers pop-up in frame 2. It'll appear to
expand frames, but really the pieces are in two completely different frames.
There's a library here that will work with frames, but the library is really
slow loading for a lot of options (at least it was last time I looked at
it.)

Subject: RE: DHTML Menu :: Spanning frameset?
here is the example i speak of.
http://www.columbus.nbbj.com/Dhtml/Default.htm
how would i put the sub menu in the frame set for the main page with the
corporate Babel?
also if i did that would the linked pages to that main frame set keep the
sub menu intact?
any advice would be Superb!
thank you!

Hey Paul. I had some other problems as well with DHTML menus, and
unfortunately, there are no workarounds.
DHTML menus appear under IFRAMEs and SELECT boxes. Because you're loading
two different pages, there is no workaround other than creating a layer in
the other fram that you want the layer to appear in... Becauase in a normal
framset, your framesets occur in the head of the page, not the body, I don't
think you can put layers inside of the head tags successfully...
Good luck... Hope you find a better answer =)

Subject: OT: DHTML Menu :: Spanning frameset?
ok.
i have a dhtml menu in my left frame set.
is there a way that i can have the sub menus overlap the main frame or right
frame?
right now in the left frame nav, if i open a few sub menus they are
partially hidden due to the next frameset. i would like the sub menu on top
of all the frames?
any ideas?
please advise..
thank you
