Does dhtmlxMenu support dropdown menus over frames, Iframes, flash and forms?  Is ther a setting or something I can change to make the dropdowns stay on top of another frame?

a) There is no way to draw content from one frame over another frame on the same level <frameset>

            <frame1>

            <frame2>

There ais no solution for such situation. The browser strictly limits content of frame to frame itself.

b)  But in case of multi iframe structure <document>

            <iframe1>

            <iframe2>

next workaround can be implemented:
 

dhtmlxMenu object can be created in top level document. In such case expandable menu will be always positioned over iframes (because menu is placed in window which is not sibling but parent to iframes)

In my Iframe case it does not work. subMenu opening causes iframe to move down. It does open over iframe. Is it possible to be done?

 

Here is the example:

<html>
<head>
<script src="../../codebase/dhtmlxcommon.js"></script>
<script src="../../codebase/dhtmlxmenu.js"></script>

<link rel='STYLESHEET' type='text/css' href='../common/style.css'
</head>
<body>

<div id="menuObj" style="">meni je tu valjda</div><br>
  <script type="text/javascript">
 var menu = new dhtmlXMenuObject("menuObj");
 menu.addNewSibling(null, "file", "File", false);
        menu.addNewChild("file", 0, "file_new", "New", false, "new.gif");
   </script>
<iframe src="_blank" width="1200"></iframe>

</body>
</html>
