Q:
The cascading javascript menu does not spans frames or windows like Applets. Is that correct?
I was not able to make the sample to do it.
A:
The DHTML Menu and Java Menu are built on different technologies.
Java menus can create submenus that cover frames as a standard Windows
submenus. DHTML Menu can't do that, because it's controls is html
objects, they can't overlap Windows controls. So, cascading javascript menu has
cross-frame ability that allows it to show submenus in different
frames. But it can support this mode for the same domain only -- if
you loaded a page to a subframe from another domain, the submenus
can't be shown in it. It happens because all browsers don't allow to
do that for security reasons. Just imagine if you'll able to create a
frameset from 2 frames, 1st frame will be with a zero height-width,
and you'll load your page into it. Then user will go to another domain
and your "invisible" frame will change a content of other pages!
