opening to a table

[joshuasanders]

Is there any way to open up a link from a nav bar on the left to a table on the right. I tried using frames, but it just didn't look right. The way I would like it to work is one page with a table, a table row, and two table columns. In the first column is the nav bar. The second column would be my "target" that would change with the nav buttons. I saw that you can use a <table id="?"> tag but I can't figure out the javascript. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Try putting an inline frame (IFRAME) inside your table cell.

Our users use a mixture of Netscape and IE......any other suggestions

Haven´t got any idea,
but why doesn´t it work with frames? Maybe we can get
that right?

I'm using a javascript popup menu that will not cross over the frame border and I get my menu overlapping my buttons. The only way I can get it so it will not overlap is to increase the size of my navigation frame so the menu has room to open up. So I created the the page using tables which looks great, except now I can't get my nav bar to open up to my main screen. Maybe I should try a different menu. Go ahead and check out the site to see what I'm talking about.

Now I see what you mean.
If you only need a greater width, you could split your
site into 3 frames: The left frame with the links,
the main upper frame with the content, and the small
lower frame with another menu containing the sub-topics,
targeting the main upper frame.
I hope you understand, what I mean; else you could have
a look at one of my sites:

That site is splitted into 4 frames, but you´ll see what
I mean.

Detlef,
I couldn't reach your site. Anyway...I don't think that will work without redesigning my menu. If I'm going to do that I might as well look for another menu script.

Does anyone know a popup menu that will cross over a frame border? Perhaps something in DHTML?

Hi,
meanwhile, my server´s online again.
But I don´t think, it´s possible to make
a menu that crosses frames. Guess you´ll
have to change your site.
Good luck!
