Dreamweaver Layers

[CharlotteL]

I have a problem with my Layers.

I have an initial command that onload certain layers are hidden and others are shown - it works fine but I get a quick flash of all layers - do you know how I can stop the quick flash of the hidden layers?

This is my code:

body onload="MM_showHideLayers('Layer2','','show','Layer3','','show','Layer6','',
'show','Layer7','','show','Layer8','','show','Layer9',
'','show','Layer10','','hide','Layer11','','hide',
'Layer12','','hide','Layer13','','hide',
'Layer14','','hide','Layer15','','hide','
Layer16','','hide','Layer17','','hide',
'Layer18','','hide','Layer5','','show')">

Use CSS to have your layers be hidden from the start instead of having Javascript hide them after they are created.

.layerclass{
display:none;
}

or

.layerclass{
visibility:hidden;
}

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Thanks, this works for firefox but I still have a problem on IE with the initial flash. Is there an extra setting for IE - thanks alot.

Nope, should work for both. What version of IE are you testing this on?

Do you have a full and valid doctype at the start of your page?
