is there a z-index equivalent for frames?

Question

Hey,

Here's my problem:

I have two frames, one on top of the other. The top one contains the menu and the drop-down part of the menu gets covered by the lower frame. How would I go about fixing this?

Side question: should I use frames or iframes?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

If you are using frames you can't have content from one overlapping the other. To make the menu system work you will need to embed the menu elements in the bottom frame then have the top frame call events to the bottom frame to show the menus, but really don't do it this way.

Design the site around changing out just the content you need you may be able to achieve the same effect using jquery and the load function that could allow your basic nav to stay put and just keep reloading a main content area. Also your mp3 should be fine then.
