[TYPO3-hci] "New top frame" problems

Wed Sep 27 11:21:33 CEST 2006

Hi folks,

As the plan goes, I'm trying to build the initial framework for  
having a top frame. In "alt_main.php", instead of a frameset, this is  
what I put:

<body>
			<div id="menu">
				... menu stuff here with layers and all...
			</div>
			<iframe src="./alt_intro.php" id="content" name="content"></iframe>
</body>

(In addition there are styles and some JavaScript to position the  
items correctly)

I tested it in these browsers:
- Firefox (Mac)
- Opera 9 (Mac)
- Safari (Mac)
- MSIE 6 (Win)
- Konqueror (Linux)

Generally, it works! Layers from within the <div id="menu"> will  
overlay the iframe, even on top of scrolls bars in the iframe.

Exceptions are:
- Konqueror: Nothing seems to be able to lay on top of the iframe  
here! Means; Everything in the menu area must stay in the menu area.  
Is there are way to change that?
- Firefox: Scrollbars will penetrate the layers dropping down over  
the iframe. Is there are way to suppress this?

Generally, I assume these problems can be solved and if not, this new  
way of shaping the backend is still just an alternative approach -  
the old frameset is still equally usable for accessing modules.
