Hi All,

my web page does contain to 4 frames(top, left, right,bottom). in top frame i have a button . when i click on the button it renders a transparent layer(div layer/overlay) on the top frame. i want to show the overlay across the frames rather than displaying in the current frame.

i have made use of only the frames not the iframes.

please suggest me away for getting the overlay across the frames.

you could put the overlay outside of the frames and give it a higher z-index than the frames. I don't think you can get something to render outside a frame it is within.

If the object is created within the frame, you'll need to use javascript to move the overlay object to a different place in the dom. something like..

var myOverlay = document.getElementById('myOverlay');
myOverlay.parentNode.parentNode.appendChild(myOverlay);

This code will take the overlay div and move it up the dom. it's up to you to work out exactly how many times you need to call .parentNode

Goodluck
