Crossframe cascading menus

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 14.2003

–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

@khalidali63Feb 14.2003 — 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..

cheers

@cheese_stinksFeb 14.2003 — 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.

@JumpmanauthorFeb 15.2003 — 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?

@cheese_stinksFeb 15.2003 — Well, yeah, that's possible if you use an iframe for the main page whose z-index is lower than the menu's.

@JumpmanauthorFeb 15.2003 — 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.
