i need help with layers move places in frontpage

[AJ Boyce]

I have been creating a webpage for a school project and just realized that
the layers that i used on the pages move places depending on the screen
resolution... I really need some help, soon because it is due 3/24/05.

Please help me, AJ

Please ignore that suggestion as it will only cause you more problems.

Can you show me your page?

Are you REALLY sure it's the layers moving, and not some table content
underneath the layer?

my page is not on the internet, so i cant show it to you. i am sure it is the
layers moving because everything stays centered and then depending on the
screen size the layers will show up in different places. for example i have
some pages with a slideshow and then some buttons on the left and text on the
right and they are both in layers and depending on different computers i view
it on some times the buttons look far away from the slideshow and sometimes
it is overlaping on the slideshow.

Please ignore that suggestion as it will only cause you more problems.

if you want me to i can email you the files from one of my problem pages...
it is only 9 files, and i would need your email address. i tried to put this
page on the web, but i am currently having problems.

because everything stays centered

That's the tip-off. Your layers are pasted like glue to the screen (that's
why they are called absolutely positioned elements) and the rest of the page
is moving/centering underneath them. If you had a screen ruler, you could
measure the position of the layers in the browser viewport, and I'm paying
dollars to doughnuts that the distance from the left and top margins of the
browser's viewport is constant for the layers.

See - that's the problem when you mix absolute positioning with centering
content.

Here's something simple you could try....

Add this to the head of the page -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { text-align:center; }
#wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto; position:relative;text-align:left; }
/* you may need to adjust this width value */
-->
</style>

and change your HTML as follows -

change this -

<body...>

to this -

<body...>
<div id="wrapper">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div>
</body>

and see what happens on one of these pages.

use one anyway!
So which is it should he use one or not? I say he should take your

Yes, I see how that can be confusing.

Note - a relatively positioned div is quite different than an absolutely
positioned div. The former is NOT a layer in the conventional sense, while
the latter is. Note also that my recommended CSS causes that relatively
positioned div to center itself in the browser viewport. Since absolutely
positioned divs take their position from the nearest positioned parent, and
since (in my suggestion) the nearest positioned parent is a centering div,
the absolutely positioned divs will be properly aligned as the page centers.

In your suggestion, wrapping the layers with another outer layer will have
no effect on their ability to center as the page content centers, since they
will all take their position from the 0, 0 coordinates of the body tag.

To see what I mean, go here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layersdemo.asp

There are two divs of interest on that page (actually, there are quite a few
others) - the two in the middle of the page. Note how they BOTH stay
properly aligned as you expand and contract the browser viewport.

To quote someone famous "that depend on what you constitute" layer "to
mean". To me it matters not if it is positioned relative or absolute. It
is still a layer.
A containing layer should be positioned relatively to the viewport and I
should have mentioned that myself.

Yep - that would make a world of difference.

As far as I can recall, you are the only person I have ever heard that
considers a relatively positioned div to be a layer. DW does not, and GL
does not.

In fact, in DW, any absolutely positioned page element *becomes* a layer,
whether it is a div tag or not. So, for example,

<table style="position:absolute">

would be considered a layer! !!!

It's all a semantic thing, however, since none of the HTML specs refer to
"layer"....

Murray and Jens.
Thanks for this discussion.

I have been confused by the terms "layer". Reading between the lines of
other discussions, I have taken it to mean an absolutely positioned <div>.
Now I read it is any absolutely positioned element. That would even include
a paragraph, I assume.

Does someone wish to throw in an exact definition, or is this it?

[Murray]

Being as how there is really no such thing as a 'layer' it's hard to be
definitive. For me, a layer would be anything that can be absolutely
positioned, including a paragraph, a table, an image, or a div. A
relatively positioned thing, therefore, is not a layer. FP is a little soft
on this definition because when you look at the properties of a "LAYER" you
can specify that it have "None", "Absolute", or "Relative" positioning.
This implies that only divs have this property, and that all positioned divs
are layers. I disagree with that notion.

I say this because there are two fundamental differences between relatively
and absolutely positoned elements -

1. One takes up space on the page and the other doesn't (former, latter)
2. One is removed from the flow of code and the other isn't (latter,
former)

and because you can relatively or absolutely position any page element, not
just a div.

I think the term "layer" refers primarily to the fact that it can be ordered
in the Z axis.

Jim:

I completely disagree, but there is no 'higher authority' on this, since the
term 'layer' is not defined anywhere.

I can tell you for sure that DW doesn't use that interpretation, and I'm
pretty sure that GL doesn't either. Since Netscape were the ones who first
used the ill-fated <layer> tag, I guess we could ask them.... 8)

I'm speaking in the context of FrontPage. FrontPage's Layers are not the
same as Netscape's <layer> tags. FrontPage's Layers are called such because
of the ability to layer them on a page.

Fair enough.

Nothing is similar to Netscape's <layer> tags! 8)

In that sense, then, anything that is positioned would be a FP layer.
