I have a html page with several frames in it (also nested framesets). I want to show an overlay over all these frames to show a modal box / light box. Is that possible?
I know, i know, framesets are not good to use, but I want to give it a try!

Unfortunately completely impossible.
The only HTML Element that will overlay over a frameset frame.. is the drop down list portion of a Select list.
In a similar situation, I built the same "frameset" using iframes. It was the only way to overlay over the frames.

do you mean that you nested a frameset in an iframe in your case?

I rebuilt the frameset/frames using iframes. e.g. the page that originally defined a `frameset` with `frames` it now only contains `iframes`. I had to ditch the `frameset` entirely.
