I would like to do some animation in Dreamweaver, using layers, and I think I am supposed to use the drag layer behavior.  But I cant seem to get it to work.  I am trying to have a layer come from off screen into the middle of the screen.  Is this even possible in Dreamweaver or do I need to use flash as well?
 
I've never worked with moving layers around the screen, but I do know that its easy to animate layers using timelines.
 
open the html source window and at the layer tag you would see position:position:absolute; left:000px; top:000px;<br>depends on your screen size set left or top index higher than site size in pix.<br>if you increase top more than your page height yall wont see it<br><br>but ya must disable the scrolling on your page
 
ok<br>you must make a frame (frameset)<br><br><br>&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;test&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;frameset frameborder=0 framespacing=0 border=0 rows=100% scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;frame name=frame src=&quot;YOUR SITE ADRESS&quot;&gt;&lt;/frameset&gt;&lt;noframes&gt;&lt;meta http-equiv=refresh content=&quot;0; url=&quot;YOUR SITE ADRESS&quot;&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;YOUR SITE ADRESS&quot;&gt;YOUR SITE ADRESS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/noframes&gt;&lt;/html&gt;<br><br>YA JUST CHANGE YOUR SITE ADRESS with location of your Index page<br>that will do that
 
I have figured out how to use the layers to animate.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am having a problem, I have a layer that loads by coming in from the bottom but in that layer I have a table with a jump menu and sometimes the jump menu isnt visible when the animation is over.&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone know how to fix this?
