I have a menu system built with layers (I borrowed almost all of the code
from the one at http://www.brainjar.com/)  What I want now is to create a
menu that the submenus will cross a frame border.

i.e.
______________
Top Frame/w Menu
-------------------
            |submenu|
Bottom Frame
______________
Is there a way to make the  submenus cross the border and cover what is in
the bottom frame?  Do I have to use something other than layers to do this?

I had the brilliant idea of putting the bottom frame in an <iframe> tag, but
this still had the same problem (and only worked in IE).  I also tried
changing it's z-index to something like -1 but no luck.  Then i thought of
using the <object data=url> tag, but this doesn't work in either IE or NS.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

-L.T.
