New Member with popout menu problem

[JDubb23]

I'm new to Dreamweaver and am trying to create a page of 3 frames that contains
a dropdown/pop-out menu in the 2nd frame. When the popout exceeds 3 choices,
it it no longer displayed, giving the user the sense that it "disappears"
behind the main frame (3rd frame). What do I need to do to get the popout menu
to lay "on top" of the 3rd frame? I'm trying to do the same exact thing that
this site is doing at the top of this exact page where you see "Home,
SOlutions, Products, etc", and the popout lays on top of the page.

Probably the most viable solution would be to start over and not use frames, then the problem pretty much goes away.

It is possible to cause some content within a frame to show based upon events in other frames (think mousing over a main menu item in one frame and having a sub menu appear within another frame, but that sub menu content would have to be part of the content of the other frame). However, the way to do this is tricky and has several cross browser issues, especially when content in either frame can be scrolled. It really is much easier to not use frames in the first place. IMO, with templates and includes to handle adding menus, headers and footer and other common elements to all pages there really is no compelling case to be using frames. And even if there were, then it would be easier to change the way the menu works (think tree or accordion menus on one side of the page instead of across top of the page).
