looking for dropdown menu with submenu on frame

[masterpp]

i'm lookig for dropdown menu with submenu that work with frames like this [dynamicdrive.com...]
let say i have two frames(one small top frame and the main body frame)
But the top frame with menu, it only display inside the frame. I just want to be able to display the whole menu throughout the main frame. like original of drop down menu of form. it does display outside of frame.

i've search many DHTML but most of all are only display inside the frame. this rightclick can display outside of frame [dynamicdrive.com...]

Welcome to webmasterworld, masterpp

What you are looking for is probably not possible. The two scripts you've pointed to are very different. The one that extends the pop-up outside the window depends on a non-standard jscript method that only works in Explorer.

Each frame is essentially it's own window - so any script that runs in that window will not create effects outside that window. We had this related discussion [webmasterworld.com] here about a year ago, and no one could see it any other way. There is an outside chance someone could write a script to create two pieces, one in each frame, but line them up to look like one piece. However, we realized that such a script would be extremely large and tangled.

I wish I had something more positiove to contribute, but I don't. I'd suggest rethinking the design.

oh thank you for info. I guess i'll have to use regular drop-down menu (non-dhtml), but still want submenu badly.

This is the closest example of a drop down menu that goes across frames that I've seen:

[burmees.nl...]

Now that's an approach that could simplify things: main menu on the top frame, but the dropdown and submenus are completely within the lower frame. Since there's no "overapping" of frames to deal with, the job becomes much more do-able.
