From what I've heard (I don't know for a fact), Netscape 6 did away with the <LAYER> tag and that's why I am using <DIV> with CSS positioning. I have heard that Netscape 6 is moving to near compliency with W3C standards and therefor is scrapping all the propietary tags such as <LAYER> and is...

Ok, so it appears I have it working, but I'm not sure why it is the way it is. I have two CSS classes, one is called .MAIN, the other is .TEST. I had listed all my <DIV> blocks at the very end of my code, just before </BODY>. One <DIV> block used CLASS=&quot;TEST&quot;. All the other <DIV>...

Further to my previous post, I've narrowed down a bit what the Netscape problem is with my layers. It seems it doesn't like me creating two classes of styles. I never had the problem before because I only had one class. I tried taking out one of my classes and the class that didn't work...

Actually, I checked my code, and the above isn't true. i had done it previously by calling a function, that's why I can't figure out why it won't work this time. my previous function looks like this: function hide(){ if (document.all){...

I tried that, and now I get &quot;document.layers.layerwhoare has no properties&quot; The funny thing is, I've done the exact same thing before except calling document.layername.visibility = &quot;hide&quot;; from a mouseover() event in my <A HREF=&quot;#&quot;>HTML code and it worked fine...

I have a number of layers at the end of my code, each inside a <DIV></DIV> and right before my</BODY>. I have a function to hide all the layers when my page loads, and another function that takes an ID as an argument and shows that particular layer. When I look at it all in Explorer, it works...

So I want my layer to stay open for a few seconds. In IE it will accept the onmouseout event inside the <DIV> so it works great and is very easy (I can just use my hide() function with that). But Netscape doesn't seem to want to support that. Any suggestions as to having a layer close...

Sorry Pete, I realize I was confusing. I also didn't give you all of my code. I posted one of my functions and then I posted my <DIV></DIV> segment from my code. The code you see above that I previously posted is actually only what is inside my<DIV></DIV> (I have a table inside my...

I tried it, and what happens when the 'position' is relative is that it actually takes the <DIV><TABLE></DIV> and creates it inside my current layer, not over top of it. It hides it, but nonetheless it messes up everything because it creates it within my current layer. When I have 'position'...

OK, now I discovered something very interesting. In my <DIV> I had a table (white bg) with a bunch of links. Now I put another table around it with a black background and set a height & width attribute. Now Netscape shows me this big black rectangle when I show that <DIV>. But it won't show...

I am trying to create a simple layer using <DIV> and CSS positioning. Here is my function to show the &quot;layer&quot; function show() { if (n) document.layer1.visibility = &quot;show&quot; if (ie) layer1.style.visibility = &quot;visible&quot; } when i call show() from <A...
