Hi there,
My HTML Page has 2 Frames.

The Top Frame contains a Drop Down Menu .
The Second Frame which is the lower content page has content.

Now the top frame Drop down is big enough and the size overlaps with the Lower Frame.

I need this 2 Frame strcuture compulsarily as the structure confirms to the way i will host my HTML page on a LMS.

How can i do that .

The Solution should retain the Two Frame structure and still the Top Frame drop down Menu when opened should be able to overlap with the Lower Frame.

It will be a great help!!

The problem with trying to develope a drop menu for a frame envionment is that frames have a specific order that causes them to stay at the top. The only way to get a drop menu to work properly is to embed the dropped menus into every page that will appear in the target frame. This can be done and to save some explaination here is an example.

Frames Demo (http://www.milonic.co.uk/menu/frames/)

But for best effect and minimal design it would be better to avoid the frames and use DIVs to set the top from what would be the second area and then include your menu to each page that would load.
