OK, it makes perfect sense....aka "tool-tips"
There are a few things to consider:
- each browser has its own quirks so ur really looking for happy medium of good looks
- DIVs -layers tend to be misleading when working in Desing View since u can drag and "poition" layer anywhere u want on the page. The problem here is that 'postion' the way u see it does not relfect where the layer is in the code with respect to the rest of the elements in the page.
so, in your case code reads:
Code:
<BODY background="images/blue-pinstripes.jpg" LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0>
<div id="attorneyservices" style="position:absolute; left:175px; top:381px; width:135px; height:94px; z-index:1; visibility: hidden;">
so from 'code perspective' this layer is the very 1st thing ...even before the main Table that holds your page.
as far as Browser is concerend this "works" since u can use the position coordiantes to adjust layer placement.
I would suggest that u think of layers much like u do of cells in a table...in other words, if this layer should be "seen" somewhere in the middle of the table then place the code "<div=..." in the place where u invisoined it...whihch would be in some cell in your table NOT at the top like u have it.
Also, look through DW help about 'DIV' tags or 'Layers' and especially the properties of "position:absolute" vs. relative....
in short, position:absolute will make sure that your layer is at the same distance with respect to Browser window...u can test this by reseizing the window and see that the distance from the window is the same(absolute).....
DW Help also has a a few samples to look at...u will get the idea ones u campare "relative vs. absolute"
All the best!
