Frontpage Layers

S

Steve

Does someone have an example of using a layer that is placed ion the middie
of the web page and will change to different text when a user mouses over
images that are placed in a circle around the layer?
The problem I am having is that the layer I created displays the text when I
mouseover the images BUT does not stay centered correctly in the middle when
the user resizes the browser window

That's how "layers" are supposed to work. Layers are absolutely positioned,
which means that once placed, they are stuck like glue.

Show me your page, please, and I'll tell you how to fix it.

Change this -

<td width="183" rowspan="3">
<div id="Layer1" class="balloon" style="border-width: 0;
position:absolute; left:345px; top:219px">
<strong> </strong> </div>
<div align="center"></div></td><td>

to this -

<td width="183" rowspan="3">
</td><td>

and this -

<body>

to this -

<body>
<div id="Layer1" class="balloon" style="border-width: 0;
position:absolute; left:345px; top:219px">
</div>

and see what happens now....

You should never put absolutely positioned elements (i.e., layers) directly
into table cells.

I can send you an email if you want but I did make the following changes and
I didnt see any difference.

I inserted the div tag after the body tab
<Body>
<div id="Layer1" class="balloon" style="border-width: 0;
position:absolute; left:345px; top:219px">
</div>
...
...
and I made the following change but I still get the same result

Does someone have an example of using a layer that is placed ion the
middie
of the web page and will change to different text when a user mouses
over
images that are placed in a circle around the layer?
The problem I am having is that the layer I created displays the text
when
I
mouseover the images BUT does not stay centered correctly in the middle
when
the user resizes the browser window

OK - round 2!

We had to get the code right on the page first.

Change this -

-->
</STYLE>

to this -

body { text-align:center; }
#wrapper { position:relative; width: 760px; margin:0 auto;
text-align:left; }
-->
</STYLE>

Change this -

<body>

to this -

<body>
<div id="wrapper">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div>
</body>

And now tell me what happens....

You should never put absolutely positioned elements (i.e., layers)
directly
into table cells.

You should never put absolutely positioned elements (i.e., layers)
directly
into table cells.

That's how "layers" are supposed to work. Layers are absolutely

which means that once placed, they are stuck like glue.

Does someone have an example of using a layer that is placed ion
the
middie
of the web page and will change to different text when a user
mouses
over
images that are placed in a circle around the layer?
The problem I am having is that the layer I created displays the
text
when
I
mouseover the images BUT does not stay centered correctly in the
middle
when
the user resizes the browser window

That's how "layers" are supposed to work. Layers are absolutely
positioned,
which means that once placed, they are stuck like glue.

Show me your page, please, and I'll tell you how to fix it.

Does someone have an example of using a layer that is placed
ion
the
middie
of the web page and will change to different text when a user
mouses
over
images that are placed in a circle around the layer?
The problem I am having is that the layer I created displays
the
text
when
I
mouseover the images BUT does not stay centered correctly in
the
middle
when
the user resizes the browser window
