Layers in VID 2

RichS · Aug 6, 2001

I am new to Visual InterDev so please forgive this simple question. I am trying to over lap one layer with another but they show in the browser (IE 5.5) as side by side. Changing the left and top of the layers has no effect.
The code is:
**********************
<html>
<head>
<title>Layers</title>
</head>
<LAYER LEFT=25 TOP=48>
<h2>Layer one</h2>
<IMG SRC="../images/RiverMktStr_001.JPG" width=200 height=200>
</LAYER>

<LAYER LEFT=50 TOP=90>
<h1>Layer two</h1>
<IMG SRC="../images/RiverMktStr_002.JPG" width=200 height=200>
</LAYER>
</html>
************************

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Weedhoppah... You must not use <LAYER> with IE for it is written "IE browsah no support dah "Layer" tag. Seek dah <DIV STYLE> tag for sorution of you-ah prob-em....

hi there,

if u want to use LAYERs in ur web page then u will have to use Netscape Navigator for browsing it.

if u want to use IE5+ then use DIV tag with absolute positioning.

that will solve ur problem.
