FramesNavFramePos

Description:

Indicates where the navigation frame is in relation to the content frame for standard cross-frame implementations.

Value:

One of top, left, bottom, or right, or any JavaScript expression that returns one of those four values.

Applies To:

Globally.

Browser Compatibility:

FramesNavFramePos is supported in all browsers.

Comments:

This parameter allows HierMenus to know how to position menus within the content frame in standard cross-frame implementations. I.E., if set to top, then as menus are popped up they will be placed at the top of the content page immediately beneath the top border of the content frame. If left, then the menus appear on the left of the content page, etc.

Some browsers do not account for the content frame's scrollbars when reporting the dimensions of the frame itself, thus when using the right or bottom settings the menus may not be flush with the actual edge of the content area.

FramesNavFramePos:"top"

FramesNavFramePos:"left"

FramesNavFramePos:"bottom"

FramesNavFramePos:"right"

FramesNavFramePos is only meaningful in standard cross-frames implementations. In alternate cross-frames implementations, FramesNavFramePos is ignored. See the HierMenus version 6 Setup Instructions for further details on the two types of cross-frames implementations.

Examples:

// Ok:
FramesNavFramePos:"top",
FramesNavFramePos:"left",

// Incorrect:
FramesNavFramePos:top,
FramesNavFramePos:"below",

Default:

None. FramesNavFramePos is required in standard cross frame implementations.
