z-index on framed page - drop nav over content frame

totally the way to go! the heck with frames, they are and always have been a
nasty nightmare.

BTW, z-index only works for absolutely positioned children of relative
parents. or snotty children of wealthy parents. i never have been able to
keep that straight.

That function is smart enough to strip out the mandatory DOCTYPE and
TITLE information and any optional header information that ought not
be present in the body of the page you're creating?

Yes, but as long as you're running the perl script, it's pretty easy
to extract the body from the page. That's the part of the task that I
figured that PHP might have difficulty with.

I had a similar problem getting it to work on my framed in pages on
http://plugtrade.com

here was my solution:

I ended up having to use jquery but in the end it looks like it all
works out. At least I think that's what you are talking about? Using
iframes and divs for the content and faking a frameset layout?

Make sure if you are doing this that you check for resizing (requires
jQuery):


<script>

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#main').css({'height'($(window).height())-100)+'px'});
$(window).resize(function() {
$('#main').css({'height'($(window).height())-100)+'px'});
});
});


$(document).ready(function(){
var iframe = $("#main")[0];
iframe.contentWindow.focus();
});
</script>
