Overflow content outside of HTML Frame Element

Question

Is it possible to make content overflow outside of a HTML frame element?

For example can I have a video that sits inside 1 frame extend beyond the extents of the frame? enter image description here

I've tried making the frame have an overflow value of visible. And giving the video (iframe) element a x value of -100px but the video never moves further left than 0px.

Any ideas how I could make the video overflow into the left frame using HTML, CSS or Javascript.

Are they actual frames within a frameset? If so, I don't think it's possible.

I would suggest not using frames. See for example https://stackoverflow.com/a/15938545/694325 for reasons why not to use frames.

Even if it's an iframe instead of frame it's still not possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/176572 – Joel Peltonen Jul 05 '13 at 06:03
How about making images/videos as thumbnails and then using some kind of popup window? I would otherwise say Lightbox, but I don't think it's possible when viewed in a frame. – Joel Peltonen Jul 05 '13 at 06:06

From the outset I would say its not possible. But, a quick 'Google' and I came accross this article - http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/16/856267 which hints at a possible solution using the top.document javascript selector.

This stackoverflow question also provides a possible solution - Absolute div overlay iframe borders?
