@FunkymonkeyauthorDec 21.2005 — Sorry I didn't explain very well, the highlighting on mouseover works fine. What I need to do is to open up the dropdown menu (which is actually just a table that becomes visible when the mouse moves over one of the menu options) in another frame. Is it possible to display a table in one frame when the mouse moves over a menu option (which is just another table) in another frame?

example<a href="#nogo" onmouseover="parent.frames[1].document.getElementById('idoftable').style.visibility = 'show'; return false;">Menu Item</a>You will need to change the frame that it is in and the idoftable

There may be an issue with making it disappear again though, maybe onmouseover of a different menu item?

Success!
