constant menus

Dark-Tech

Im not sure what languages ill have to use or how to do this but what im looking to do is put a flash menu at the top of everypage on my site
i already have the menu

i want to make it so that the menu never has to reload
the menu is coded so that when you click a link on it the link becomes higlighted (and a page will be loaded

so i want it so i can put the menu at the top of the site and it never reloads thus causing the button clicked to be highlighted

i thought i'd try frames, the only problem with that is there is no way to tell what the length of the Forum pages will be so if i put the forum in a frame it will not fit i'd end up with scroll bars, and if i make the frame really big i end up with alot of unused space

can anyone tell me what i can do?

You can use FrameSet Smile

you have to assign the width and height of this in %, so normally it will automatically fit for each screen Smile

Than your menu might still be small.. than a frame would be the only option..
Perhaps with an Iframe that perfectly fits for the menu; than you only have to change your layout a little to fit it clean Wink

You an try this site for a menu: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/index.html.

And frame's, use frameset in the attribute <frame>:
eg
<FRAMESET COLS="20%,* ">
<FRAMESET ROWS=" 10,* ">
<FRAME A1>
<FRAME A2>
</FRAMESET>
<FRAME B>
</FRAMESET>

Here you get two cols: 1 of 20% of your screen, and one the rest of your screen.
And two rows: one of 10 pixels and 1 of the other 80%.

Will this help?

i didn't want to use that but in the end it seems to be my best option, thanks
