Why not have it as a table, with the current header frame being one <tr> and the actual body of the page being another?

HTML Elements cannot float over frames. You can only emulate this by having the menu code in the top frame and to menu items in the lower frame. This means you have to script across frames which is very tricky.

I've done this before for people (and a site of my own) and cross browser compatability is another issue you'll have to contend with.

If i were you, i'd drop the frameset and make things easier on yourself.
