drop down menu in a FP 2003 frame

[kenbo]

first of all - great site! I just came across it this weekend and there is a bounty of good info up here.

I am trying to implement your drop down menu, www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/dropmenuindex.htm , into a frame with frontpage 2003. a couple questions:

- how do I set up a target frame on one of the pulll down menu items?

- apparently the frame must be tall enough to accept the largest pull down menu? I assume it is hard coded into frames that a menu cannot bled over into an adjourning frame?

thanks, kenbo

- how do I set up a target frame on one of the pulll down menu items?

In the line that has the link:

menu1[0]='<a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a><br>'

Add target="frameName", where frameName is obviously the name of the frame you want to change.


menu1[0]='<a href="http://www.javascriptkit.com" target="frameName">JavaScript Kit</a><br>'


- apparently the frame must be tall enough to accept the largest pull down menu? I assume it is hard coded into frames that a menu cannot bled over into an adjourning frame?

Not necessarily, some menus can cross into another frame, but that usually requires a lot of javascript...so only a select few will. (HV Menu, I believe, is one)
