Check under Tools | Page Options or Authoring and make sure browsers are set to IE or Custom, and
that you have all CSS options enabled.

Hi,

Layers are supposed to be positioned absolutely. How are you inserting them
on your page? Try this - hit Insert Layer Fp will stick a layer (blue box)
on your page whereever the cursor happens to be. However it wont have any
positioning yet - so it's not really a "layer" to set it's position click it
to select it (you'll see "handles" on each side and use your arrow keys to
move it where you want - or drag it - or use Format Layer to give it a left
and top position.

Tip: Every time you Insert Layer always move the layer even if it's just by
a couple of pixels as this will write the positioning code correctly.

Does this make sense :) If not do post back - it's harder to explain than
to do

Yes, this all makes sense, I’ve been doing what you described for months with no problems
And now my layer positions are stuck in absolutely, the blue box shows but it wont move or stretch like it used to
This all happened around the time I was inserting DHMTL into a moved and stretched layer onto a page that contained behaviors and some word art. That’s when things went crazy
I rebooted, and reinstalled the software but it still wont wonk like it used to
Do you have any suggestion, getting very worried….
Thank
robert

Check your Code View for a layer (from the dhtml or word art) that is positioned and on top of all other layers and remove it

See your other thread - works for me
Check Tools Page Options Authoring to make sure CSS2 is turned on




| Yes, i checked the code view, its stuck on absolute positioning and if i try to change the layers properties the layer will
dissapear. I created a new page with no other content and the problem continues.
| I'm baffled!
