I have redesigned this site to use the Dreamweaver MX basic popup menus. It appears that the popup image will not display across the frame boundary.

My navigation frame is top of page with the "menu bar" running along the bottom of the frame, content is the remainder of page.

Is there a method whereby I can use popups that drop down into the content frame?

Many thanks, Steve

Although I use DW, I am not familiar with its popup menus. However, most menus work by changing the visibility of elements such as divs (I think). As such, they will be limited in scope (clipped) to the frame to which they belong.

For this very reason, I use a <select> in my top navigation bar. This is not clipped.

Frankly, I am amazed that HTML does not define a standard for menus. Just another example proving that some people in standards bodies are as thick as bricks.

Thanks Kaled. Could you point me to one of your sites that implements menus using <select> tag?
