Problems with Frames

I am looking for a simple method of having two frames. The top frame would contain the menu (tigra menu gold) and the bottom frame would display the various web pages.

Are there any simple examples on how to do this without all the style tags etc. My example below dos not work yet the menu.html work fine outside the frame

Here's what I have:
============>index.html<=============
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing Frams</title>
</head>
<frameset border=0 framespacing=0 rows=123,*,40 frameborder=0>
<frame name=header marginwidth=15 marginheight=15 bottomnargin=15 src="menu.html" scrolling=no>
<frame name=header marginwidth=15 marginheight=15 bottomnargin=15 src="anypage.html" scrolling=no>
</frameset>
</html>

=========> menu.html <=============
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_files/menu.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_files/items.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_files/template.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="menu_files/menu.css">
</HEAD>
<BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#ffffff" LINK="#0000EF" VLINK="#55188A" ALINK="#FF0000">
<CENTER>
<script language="JavaScript">
new menu (MENU_ITEMS, MENU_TPL);
</script>
</BODY></HTML>

The sample for very similar situation can be found in the Tigra Menu GOLD distribution package in directory "frames"

Ok I can get it to display now but the menu items get cut off at a certain point. I had to replace MENU_POS0 with MENU_TPL, so I'm sure I'm missing something hear or is there a way for the pop-down menus to overlay the bottom fram?

In the header.html I have the following:

<html>
<head>
<title>Header.........</title>

<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_files/menu.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_files/items.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" src="menu_files/template.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="menu_files/menu.css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" leftMargin="15" marginwidth="15" marginheight="0" topmargin="15" bottommargin="0" onscroll="this.scrollTo(0,0);return false">
<CENTER>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
</CENTER>
</BODY></HTML>

make sure the frame name you pass to the menu match actual frameset. In the code you posted both frames have the same name "header" and there is no "content".

I caught that and fixed it. Now my problem is a menu with more than four items does not display anything after the fourth menu item. Seem to stop righ at the boundary for the frame.

make sure menus work fine in each individual document (without frameset). Watch for the error messages. If nothing helps submit a support ticket attaching the zip with all the files.
