problem with my script and frames

[Joseph Scoccimaro]

Currently I have a Greasemonkey script that adds a menu to the top of every
page by adding its self to the DOM. I am having a problem when I visit a
page with frames. The menu gets duplicated in every frame. I know the
problem is that the menu gets appended to the body of all the documents in
the different frames. Is there a way around this without having to use
JavaScript to break out of frames? Currently I am using this to insert the
menu div tag into the body tag: theBody.insertBefore(menuDiv,
theBody.childNodes[0]);

If you need to look at my whole script it is at this location:

It is too long to post the code on the forum

If Greasemonkey automatically calls your script for every window and
frame then your script can check e.g.
if (window == top)
to find out whether it is currently executed in the top level window
containing the frameset document.
But a menu more likely belongs into a particular frame I suppose so for
named frames you could check
if (window.name == 'someFrameName')
and then inject whatever you want to inject and don't do anything for
the other windows/frames.
