Hi Ruth,

Thanks, I made the changes. For some reason the submenus still open funny when I approach the main menu from the body pain ("main.htm").
It wierd, its as if they open in the horizontal axis of where I happen to touch the menu from under the header ("top5.htm")

Please let me know what tech support says, this site will be getting some serious traffic soon.

thanks
Nick

HELP!! Using frames SUBMENU not consistent

I've been trying to get a simple frames menu to work. I looked at the tutorial and followed everything and looked at the code.
I am using a top frame and a body.

Here's what it looks like: http://nickvasallo.com/test.htm

For some reason it gets screwy when I move the cursor down to the body pane, if I stay in the top frame (header) it works fine.
I tried the offset but I wasn't sure what to do, I did _subOffsetTop=-200 to compensate for the top image but I was just guessing.

Any help would be much appreciated
thanks
Nick

Hi,

I do not know what's happening. The submenus seem to be picking up the main menu top=190; position and moving down that much in the body frame. I made a new page and tested it and got it to work. I've put the codes below

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Nick Vasallo - Composer Classical Metal Eclecticism</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<frameset framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0" rows="224,*">
  <frame  id=top name=top  scrolling="no" noresize src="top5.htm">
   <frame name=main id=main src="main.htm">
  </frameset>
  <noframes>
    <body>
    <p>This page uses frames, but your stone-aged browser doesn't support them.</p>
    </body>
  </noframes>
</frameset>

</html>

The menu_data.js file top section.

Code:

fixMozillaZIndex=true; //Fixes Z-Index problem  with Mozilla browsers but causes odd scrolling problem, toggle to see if it helps
_menuCloseDelay=0;
_menuOpenDelay=0;
_subOffsetTop=-190
_subOffsetLeft=0;

The body data file is 0 for the sub offsets. It seems to work fine like that. I will report the issue.

One thing you should note, you have pagecolor="black"; well since you have a dark background, when there is a match so that pagecolor comes on you won't be able to see the text.

Also, any idea how I get submenus to show above flash?
For example go to http://nickvasallo.com and click on "Music", when page loads up try viewing the submenus

Hi,

I don't know where you got the mm_navframe.js file. The one in my download is a newer version. You need to get the newest version

http://www.milonic.com/mm_navframe.js

I'm not getting any flash thing. Also, there is a page about activating flash, don't know if this has anything to do with it. If there were a flash object I don't have problems with them and the menu going over them. See this info

damn, so why is it when I have a www before my url the menu gets screwy again?
Try going to http://www.nickvasallo.com and click on any link

1. Notice how the submenus don't show up and when you click on "Info" or "Music" it opens up in the "top" frame

But in http://nickvasallo.com everything works fine? :?:
