Probably the most viable solution would be to start over and
not use frames, then the problem pretty much goes away.
It is possible to cause some content within a frame to show
based upon events in other frames (think mousing over a main menu
item in one frame and having a sub menu appear within another
frame, but that sub menu content would have to be part of the
content of the other frame). However, the way to do this is tricky
and has several cross browser issues, especially when content in
either frame can be scrolled. It really is much easier to not use
frames in the first place. IMO, with templates and includes to
handle adding menus, headers and footer and other common elements
to all pages there really is no compelling case to be using frames.
And even if there were, then it would be easier to change the way
the menu works (think tree or accordion menus on one side of the
page instead of across top of the page).
