Question

Menu + submenu

I use Dreamweaver CS6

On my site, I have pages constructed with 3 frames : one at the top with the navigation menu and 2 frames under.

I modified the top menu to add submenu. I used advanced CSS drop down menu light.

But the submenu opens under the lower frame.

I can't change all the pages and delete all the frames. Have you any solution ?

Increase the height of your frame.

Frames are evil.

Actually, my z-index solution won't work because frame content cannot extend beyond the frame dimensions, and Nancy's solution would work but would probably make your page look really weird.

The only real solution is to dump frames.

Yes I use frames !!! The site is rather old, constructed in 2007… Awaiting a migration towards one CMS. I find a solution, reduce the size of text menu, add items on it and delete submenu. No more problems.

Thank you for your help.

You could try giving your top frame a higher z-index value in your css sheet, like this:

z-index:99;

But you are really using frames? No one uses frames any longer. Even iframes are not used for page layout. Better to use DIVs.
