layers aaarrrggghhh

[Manic]

I have a dropdown menu in a layer in dw4

Unfortunatly I have created the page at 1152 x 864.

whan I shrink the page to 800 x 600 the layer moves.

I have the netscape resize fix on and I have played with all of the settings but no joy.

please help

the problem is that you need to move the layer anchor tag to the place where the drop-down box is...in other words try to copy and paste the anchor tag [it's a sqaurish-gold/yellow box] and put it near the layer itself ok??
any other questions, just ask...

PS -- VERRY IMPORTANT!! just as a precaution, re-save the existing file as a diff. name and try the copy/paste method on the back-up copy ok?? This way if you made a mistake [or i made a mistake expalining it] you don't screw up the webpage, ok??

you can try something like this

function moveLayers() {
    var screen_width = screen.width
    var leeft
    if (screen_width=='800') {leeft = "166"}    
    if (screen_width=='1024') {leeft = "278"}
    if (screen_width=='640') {leeft = "86"}
    var navv = navigator.appName 
	if (navv == "Netscape") {
		document.layers['aboutus'].left = leeft;
		document.layers['stud'].left = leeft;
	} else {
		document.all['aboutus'].style.pixelLeft = leeft;
		document.all['stud'].style.pixelLeft = leeft;
	}
}

Hope this helps

You cannot use drop-downs with layers. Mine were always covered up. So I have gone to using nav buttons. There is a web site OpenCube.com that has drop-downs that do not interfere with layers.
