RE: Stabilizing DreamWeaver Layers

Hello John,
The layers problem I have is  mostly with IE 4.0
this is is just a tinkering page for guardians on a website (nothing major i
suppose but would like it to look right)
http://www.wolfenet.com/~wetnwild/Dancing_Elk/Guardians

midway down the page the Angels collide when the window is resized.

I get the same problem with tables slippin and slidin.. even when aligned
center or right for bordered backgrounds. At This site:
http://crystal-loyalty.org/sharon/ and many others.

This is very frustrating.. any ideas?



Namaste', Blessed Be, Welcome,

I'd guess you're talking about how Netscape browsers reposition DIVs when
you resize the window. This is endemic to that browser brand, and not to
any particular tool which writes the HTML.

There *is* a technique to capture the window.resize event and reload the
document... just basic JavaScript. I've used this successfully, but some at
Netscape have warned that you risk an infinite loop in such a situation.
More info's available through the Netscape site... they would have the best
word on their current recommended strategy. In the meantime, don't resize
Netscape windows for DHTML.
