Hi -

I'm doing a website for someone right now, and it's in frames. I'm sure you've seen the set up. One frame on the top, one on the far left, and a large one on the right of that, where the information goes. My drop down menu is in the LEFT frame and I'm wondering how I get all my pages to show up in the middle frame. I need to know ASAP because I need to get this site up very soon.

I'm going to try pasting the HTML for my drop down menu, hopefully it works, and just the HTML shows up.





</script>

<form name="lissamenu2">
<p align="center">
<select name="menu" style="background-color: #000000;
font size=10 ; font-family: verdana; color:#ffff00"
size="1" onchange="jump(this.form)">



<option value="0" style=background-color:000000;color:66CCFF>--> NAVIGATION</option>
<option value="0" style=background-color:FFFFFF;color:66CCFF>- - - - - </option>
<option value="http://www.centralsurf.net/services.htm" style=background-color:000000;color:66CCFF >*S e r v i c e s</option>
<option value="http://www.centralsurf.net/order.htm" style=background-color:000000;color:66CCFF>*O r d e r</option>
<option value="http://www.centralsurf.net/contactus.htm" style=background-color:000000;color:66CCFF>*C o n t a c t U s</option>
<option value="http://www.cafeshops.com/colink" style=background-color:000000;color:66CCFF>*S t o r e</option>
<option value="http://www.centralsurf.net/webdesign.htm" style=background-color:000000;color:66CCFF>*W e b D e s i g n</option>
</select>
</form>

See, I saw that one.. but that one doesn't have the different colors.

So, how can i add color to my frame that targets frames?

You could just take the style from your old drop-down menu and put it in the option thing for the new one. The "option" thing is basically the same, so it'll still look like this:

<option value="http://www.centralsurf.net/services.htm" style=background- color:000000;color:66CCFF
>*S e r v i c e s</option>

only with the new code.
