Slashdot Menu: In Two Frames?

[tribangle]

1) Script Title:
Slashdot

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/slashdot.htm

3) Describe problem:
Is there a way to have the slashdot menu in two separate frames?

Here is the example that I'm working with http://www.optimalinc.com/preview/131.html. The first section "Engineering Services" works great. However, if I try to put it into another frame "Case Studies FEA/CFD/CAE" I cannot get the same expand/collapse effect.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking something like a separate id for each menu...

<div id="my_menu1" class="sdmenu">
<div>

and

<div id="my_menu2" class="sdmenu">
<div>

Here's a thought, you could switch the id's to classes and have the same CSS for both of them still.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I'm really green at this and am confused by the suggestion. Sorry for getting lost so soon in the chain.

Alright, so change all the id= tags to class= retaining the name inside.

<div id="id">

To:

<div class="id">

Then, in the CSS, when there is for example

#id

Change the sharp to a dot

.id

If that makes sense

I think I see the light.

Code
<div class="sdmenu1">

<div class="sdmenu2">

CSS
.sdmenu1
.sdmenu2

That's right, however the advantage of this, is that you can do it with only one CSS class, ie, only .slashdot1, and that CSS will reference both of them, you can then put the positioning inline if your so inclined.

Bernie - Thank you so much for the advice! I will give it a small rewrite and let you know how it goes.

I really appreciate the help. I've been having fun figuring it out, but was really stumped on this one.

Remember, you can apply styles inline if you need individual styles.
