I want a Fireworks popup menu to appear accross a frame boundary.
Do I need to paste certain java script in all of the content html pages that
appear in the main frame if the pop-up menu originates from a top bar frame?

Cheers

You can't do that with frames, normally. But there are two ways to
acheive the effect that I can think of:
MSIE has the popup DOM object that can be used for that sort of thing.
See <http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/om/popup_overview.asp>.

The second way, which is in better practice, is to use SSI and CSS fixed
positioning. See
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#fixed-positioning>.

The third, and better solution, is to ditch the frames altogether.

I think that might have been the second solution referred to above:
SSI and fixed position.
