Is it possible to make an object/image that is on one frame of a web page overlap the frame next to it?

The Ktulu · Daedalian Member

I know very little about HTML stuff. But I do know that each frame has its own set of code, so the answer is probably no (anyone else who knows more can correct me though). Unless you wanted to cut the image into two parts, and use one part on one frame and the other for the other frame. But there would still be complications from that, I would think.

I am pretty sure you can't. Frames are made up of totally different pages.

I recommend you NOT use frames and use table and the serverside include instead to divide up the different pages. I know how to stretch an image across multiple cells of a table.

Frames sux anyway. A good web page shouldn't use them.

Yeah. Don't inflict frames on someone or I'll hunt you down.

Digglu · Daedalian Member

can't do that with frames i think. tables are better, and if you want images to overlap, you can probably use divs with some creative placement and alpha filtering.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I won't ever switch to frames, but everytime I update my web page after neglecting it for many months, I always consider it and usually make a framed version just for the hell of it to see the difference. One of the problems I would have had with frames is that I have a menu on the left side that expands outward to the right on mouseover scripts. The menu would expand over the main frame of the page. I can't make the left frame bigger cause it would be too large.

And your mouseover doesn't work on Mozilla

Hmm. I never tried Mozilla before. Do you know why it doesn't work? Does anything happen when you move over stuff?

Antrax · ESL Student

Yeah, I get to see the link URL in the status bar/line thingie

(Odds are it doesn't work because you used Javascript code that Microsoft made up, and thus is non-standard. Have you used Frontpage to create your webpage, by any chance?)

The javascript I wrote in notepad

Although I use FrontPage for editing the html text and sometimes the layout. Are you sure the javascript file and graphics are loading completely?

Antrax · ESL Student

Why wouldn't they? ~goes to test again~

On Mozilla - Page loads, expanding links do nothing on mouseover.
On Explorer - Page loads, I get 2039 annoying populs from Geocities, expanding links work beautifully.

Antrax, have you tried Opera?

Antrax · ESL Student

No, I think it looks ugly. Also, I understand the Hebrew support is lacking.
