javascript thread: Multi-frame page with pull-down navigation menue showing behind main frame

Hi and thanks for your tips Gérald!

I found the HierMenu (ver. 3.10) at DHTML Lab, and they happened to have a 
navbar which sends a request from the nav frame to the main frame, where 
the pull-down menues are displayed. This creates an illusion that they 
extend from the nav frame, quite nice really.

Cheers
