Hi. Thanks, again, for this amazing script. I recently implemented a design with an iframe in the middle of the page, and I have noticed that the menus are misbehaving in Safari 1.3.1.

Cf. http://www.kdpublish.com/journal/archives-framer.php/000367.php

I can't duplicate the behavior in IE or Firefox on a PC or a Mac.

Thanks,
Jenn

This is fairly common amongst browser makers:

IFRAMEs are just not that well supported when it comes to layered content.

You do, however, have several options:

1) Use the cross-frame version of this script with your menus *inside* the IFRAME. That should work.
2) Look in the pop_extras file for the "hiding elements when menus are active" extension. You could include that and put in a check for Safari, so it hides the IFRAME when menus are active.
3) Don't use IFRAMEs, use something like PHP or ASP to include your navigation on each page of your site. I do this on my own homepage.
4) Use my HTMLHttpRequest script to mimic an IFRAME, that's quite fun to play with :).

Also,  before finishing up with your site, please make sure that you've read the script License Agreement! You should have a link to www.twinhelix.com on there, unless you're a donating user (in which case you can use it link-free if you want!).

Good luck - Angus.
