Hi everyone,

I have a top and a content Iframe.
The top iframe has a jumpmenu which shows content in the other iframe when clicked on a product.

The top iframe has a specific height and may never be changed.
But when the jumpmenu rolls out, it is not visible for some part because it's larger than the height of the iframe.
How can I make sure that the menu is fully displayed, regardless of whether it crosses the iframe's border.

This would really help me out because this is the final stage to get the site online.

I sincerely hope someone can help me out.

Thanks a lot on advance,

Ruben.

If I understand the situation correctly, I don't think this is possible.
An iframe is like a separate window. Just as you cannot extend a menu outside your browser window, you also cannot extend it beyond an iframe.

The only solution I see is to either limit the size of the jump menu, increase the size of the iframe, or embed the menu in the main page.

If reuse is what you're after, you could put the menu inside a server side page that you then can include in the main page.

Cheers,

Imar

Hey !
Thanks for your reply.
I've been trying out a lot and indeed, crossing borders from different pages just won't go.

But, there seems to be a lot of discussion about this.
Forgive me, but I subscribed to multiple forums and there's not really someone who can tell exactly what it is with this matter.

Some say there actually are scripts to resolve this problem.
Anyway, I've worked a way around this.
Instead of a huge pop-down menu (if I may call it that way), I created something like the manu at Macromedia's.
That way, resizing frames was not necessary.

I knew frames cause multiple problems, but I never thought about it in detail. It's pretty much crap. Tables can do the same thing as frames.

Anyway, customer is king we say so no complaining.

Thx a lot for your reply.
Kind regards,

Ruben.

Next time someone says it can be done with script, ask for the script that does. I am almost 100% sure it's impossible (in fact, I am 100% sure it's impossible, but I'd like to leave some room for the slight chance that it *is* possible).

But I agree with what you said about frames. In the "old days" of the Web, frames were a common solution to code / page reuse. Nowadays, you can easily accomplish the same thing with server side includes and JavaScript. Although you may need to send more data in each page (for example, the source of your menu "frame" now has to be passed with each page as well), most users won't probably notice the difference.

Cheers,

Hmmm, your 100% seems to be correct:D
Anyway, thx for your help.
