    In IE 5+, at least, you can layer one iframe over another, so
theoretically you could pop up a separate positioned iframe (instead of a
div) containing your menu content. This could get a bit dodgy, however.
Otherwise, you _could_ hide affected iframes when a div-based menu pops out.
Not pretty, though.
