Using frames/iframes to display a navigation bar

[HairyDave]

Sorry about the title - bit long - but it does explain it a bit

I've got a page that I want to display a navigation bar in. Its a DHTML/javascript bar that can be displayed at the top of a document.

I've been including this bar in every file I create, but I'd like to change that to a single frame page that displays the nav and a content frame.

However, when the bar is placed in a separate frame, the drop down menus get hidden by the bottom frame. If I make the frame bigger then I can't get enough info in the content frame.

So I suppose I'm asking if anyone knows a way of hovering the drop down menus over the page such that they hover over a different frame.

I've included a screenshot so that you can see what I mean - its not quite right but I wanted to make it obvious what I was talking about.

Thanks
