    Default AnyLink Drop Down Menu - frames problem

    Aloha,
    Having a problem with frames using AnyLink Drop Down Menu for navigation. I have several frames on the page, and the menu I'm referring to (Online Course: Lessons) has appx 22 options to choose from, which makes it quite long. It needs to come to the top of the screen and be viewed over the three frames where it is located. I tried a fix from someone else's post, but it only moved the menu up in regards to length. It showed the bottom of the list of options, rather than bringing it to the top of all windows.
    The page can be viewed here: Alphabet Angel
    Thank you in advance for your assistance
    Here is the script (minus non-relevant code from page):

    Code:
    #dropmenudiv{
    position:absolute;
    border:1px solid black;
    border-bottom-width: 0;
    font:normal 12px Verdana;
    line-height:18px;
    z-index:100;
    }
    
    #dropmenudiv a{
    width: 100%;
    display: block;
    text-indent: 3px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
    padding: 1px 0;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;
    }
    
    #dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
    background-color: yellow;
    }
    
    -->
    </style>
    
    <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">

    Hi, can you give me the exact location where you placed that menu or where you are having problems with the menu?

    The whole page can be viewed at
    http://alphabetangel.com/treeOfLife/tree/frameset.html
    The menu is in the top frame, which is
    http://alphabetangel.com/treeOfLife/tree/top2.html.
    I have used AnyLink Drop Down Menu twice, there is a 'click for' menu on the leaf that says "Teachings" and a mouseover menu where it says "Online Course: Lessons."
    I am having trouble with the "Online Course:Lessons". The menu has 22 options, and due to the size of the frame, only five are showing. I need the menu to come to the top of the frameset.
    Thank you SO much for your assistance.

    I'm assuming you're playing with it, cause it got scrambled up? I checked in FF and Netscape, and the 'click' menu (Teachings) was working, but not the 'mouse-over' menu for Lessons. I was going to switch the Lessons menu to the 'click' code, but if you're playing with something I will leave it alone. I can fiddle with everything else, I just need the menu to come to the top of the frameset. When I open the frame itself, the menu displays fine...but it is hidden when all frames are in view.
    Thanks for your help.

    hey did you tried with blank code? I mean first use the original code (from the author) with frames then just replace your chunk of code with the original ones. It usually works with me. Just try it.

    hey sorry but I cannot paste the whole code. Let the code in the head part remain the same just replace the image codes in to this. I mean that change your code with this.

    HTML Code:

    onMouseout="delayhidemenu()", togglehttp://alphabetangel.com/treeOfLife/tree/images/('top_Gift_Certificates', new Array('top_Online_Course__Lessons_copy', 'http://alphabetangel.com/treeOfLife/tree/images/top_Online-Course--Lesso-27.gif'), 'top_Contact_Angeline', new Array('top_Online_Course__Lessons_copy', 'http://alphabetangel.com/treeOfLife/tree/images/top_Online-Course--Lesso-27.gif'), 'top_Home', new Array('top_Online_Course__Lessons_copy', 'http://alphabetangel.com/treeOfLife/tree/images/top_Online-Course--Lesso-27.gif'),
