Java drop down menu in a verticle frame

Hey!

I am a DevArticles virgin and have come here for help. I need to find a way to make my drop down menu bleed
across my frames. The width of the menu frame is too short to display my submenus and I have to use the frames
as my boss said so :P

Anyone have some answers? I know there is code available but I'm having a hard time calling the procedures I have.

I want something super easy, if that is possible, though with programming after Hello World nothing is super easy!

It's all Java and it all on a deadline!!

Thanks in advacne to anyone who helps!
