Hi, nobody responded to my other topic so i'll rephrase my question. I want my lef frame to open the menu in the right frame. The code I am using for this frame is located here:

Hi TomJS,

Is this a framed page, or is the menu in a popup layer?

this is a framed page I have one frame at the top for the banner, one on the left for the navigation bar and one on the right for the content.

Ah - I think that I'm with you now! You would like popup layers from your left navigation page to be able to spill over into the right frame?

While possible, this would involve a LOT of work and effort. Because you are talking about 2 different documents, you are dealing with two sets of DOMs (Document Object Models).

In theory, you would need to identify the point at which the spill-ver (into the other frame) would occur and then trigger another layer to show in that (right) frame. There would be quite a bit of scripting involved in this - and to be honest, I think that it would be more trouble that the outcome would be worth...
