You could try using the cross-frames feature of DynarchMenu, as in this demo: http://www.dynarch.com/demos/hmenu/examples/frames.html

Note that while this is supported by our menu, I don't recommend frames because they seriously limit the site accessibility (which results in a weak score at various search engines).

hello again,

thanks. I will have a look on your example.
I agree completely to your opinion. It will reduces the site rate in search engines, and Frames are an uggly feature. But, as your development are dictated by prgrammers, my own decisions are partially imposed by my users. And they ask for reduces maintenance costs, as WYSIWYG capabilities.

Best regards

hello,

I'm still trying to put all the menuBar definition's stuff into a single file, to avoid editing a lot of files on every change of this menubar. And I can't use server-side include, since my authors (I'm just a webmaster) want to be able to see exactly what their page will look like, on their local computers.

Following your advice, I have tried to look at the frame example, but replacing the two frames by iframes (I don't like actual frames) leads to a non-working page. Is it a way to do it working in such a way ?

Another way could be, perhaps, as other javascript building menus do, to put the menubar definition in a global javascript variable (using a structured arry), defined at the begining of the HTML page, leaving the activation of the real stuff to a function call, later in the HTML code. Do you think that such thing could be compatible with your menu script ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards
