Hi

Im trying to construct a webpage with 2 frames top and mainframe. In the topframe is a navbar with drop down menus, however when they drop down they are not visible below the bottom of the frame they are contained in?
Is there a way round this, i want the drop down to go over the content in the mainframe?

Also as it uses javascript will it be blocked as default by the new firewall in SP2 and therefore cause users to not see the menu?

any help would be great, sorry if in wrong forum but was closest i could find to my problem!
 
I tried this a few years ago, and as far as I could tell, you can't get a drop-down-menu to override the borders of frames.

SP2 of what? Windows? I don't think windows will block Javascript.. so you should be fine in whatever javascripts you use.

If a window or menu appears as the result of a user action, it won't be blocked by most newer "popup blockers".

Instead of frames, could you use a single page, and divide the content into <div> tags? They can overlap each other.

using Dreamweaver 4, does this have that feature and is how do i find it?
 
not sure, I don't use dreamweaver. Try File > Properties or something. I know Homesite has that functionality.
