Menu disapears under a frame

Hi - I am new to this menu system.
I have a top frame with the menu and when the menu opens the bottom items are covered by the frame below, is it possibe to have the menu open over the other frame?

see http://www.loveinaction.masaka.co.ug items school and other information

Thanks

Alan

It's not that it's 'behind' the frame, it's opening on the page on which it is. I don't think there's a way to tell it to have the first couple of items be on that page and the rest on the other page. Each 'frame' is it's own html page. There is a non-supported frames coding. It is not supported by milonic, and as the menu has developed I'm not sure that it will even work with the new version. You can find the explanation here http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2753 You'll note this was done back in Oct 2003. The other suggestion I have is that you make those other submenus, the ones that 'hide' horizontal which would then put them in the top frame. I'll play a bit and see if I can come up with any other suggestions.

Thanks for the help - and so quick.

I like the horizontal effect!

Ok, you can make some numbers changes and still use the menu as you have it with the drop menus being vertical.
Menu changes
1. set the main menu top position to 2px, instead of 10.
2. set your _subOffsetTop=-5 from whatever it is.
3. change the overfilter shadow, either eliminate it, or make it 120 with a strength of 2.
4. make all the submenus overflow="scroll" and set the menu height in any that have more than one item to menuheight=45;
Page Changes there's only one you need to do, change that top frame from 77 rows to 82 rows. That doesn't take too much more space but it gives the top frame the needed space so the submenus show two items and only scroll beyond that.
