problem with frame centered menu in IE

I set up a page with 3 frames:

top = Banner
middle = menu
bottom = contentent

I put the menu in a table with a centered cell, code like this:
-----------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Tigra Menu Test</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">
<base target="Hauptframe">
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%">
<tr align="center">
<td><script language="JavaScript">
var frameset = [
['Navigationsframe'],
['Hauptframe']
]
new menu (MENU_ITEMS, MENU_TPL, {'frames' : frameset});
</script></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------------

in the content page I used the code:
----------------------------------------------
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="de">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<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">
<base target="Hauptframe">
</head>

<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align=center><script language="JavaScript">
new menu (MENU_ITEMS, MENU_TPL);
</script></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>
----------------------------------------

Now everything works fine with Firefox, but in IE the frame overlapping dropdown menu is still left oriented.

I have no idea about the problem. Can anybody help?

Thanks,
Otto

The menu in the slave frame must be initialized just above the </body> tag. The menu there is positioned by the master copy, not relatively to local HTML elements.

I'm not sure that I understand you right:
I put the initialization in the content (slave)frame between the tags <body> and </body>. Below the original code. But why does it work in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer?

<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">
<base target="Hauptframe">
</head>

<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align=center><script language="JavaScript">
new menu (MENU_ITEMS, MENU_TPL);
</script></td>
</tr>
</table>

Found the solution by putting the menu in a table and this table into a centered cell of the other table.

Strange how different code is interpreted by IE and Firefox
