Pop up menu outside a frameset???

I am having trouble getting a pop up/drop down menu to fall outside of a frame.
I have my navigation sitting up in a top frame and each link has a pop up menu
behavior attached to it. The problem is that if the menu items cause the menu
size to be larger/longer than the size of the top frame it will get cut off. It
won't show up outside of the frame. What can I do to correct this. Is this
something that happens only on Mac or do I need to actually upload the page
first? I have never had this problem before. I even upgraded to DW MX2004 to
see if that would give me more options.

PLEASE HELP!

There is no practical way to make a layer (that's how drop-down menus work)
cross the boundary between two separate frames (i.e., two unique HTML
pages).

It is true. Your choices are limited now -

1. DUMP THE FRAMES - you would not be having this problem in a non-framed
site.
2. Redesign your menus so that they do not need to span a frame boundary.
3. Redesign the frameset so that you leave enough room for the largest
popup.
4. Move the layer code for the popups from the page in the navigation frame
to each page in the content frame.
5. DUMP THE FRAMES - you would not be having this problem in a non-framed
site.

I recommend either #1 or #5, depending on what your needs are. You just
have no idea the horrors that await you if you continue with the frames.....

And as for the abomination of the pop-ups? Well, just read this carefully -
