Layers and dropdown menu

[Nandini]

Hi ,

I am trying to create a dropdown menu using layers. I am able to create it
with out layers but this is posing some resolution problems. Can anyone please
help me in creating dropdown using layers? Please take a look at my sample
site where I have created dropdown "without layers" and is best viewed only
at 800*600 res. http://sridhar1/50megs.com/index.html

Please help.

Regards,
Nandini.

Nandini,

I'm not familiar with the term "layers". Do you mean frames? If so, then
I'm having similar problems. What kind of resolution problems are you having?
BTW, your URL should be http://sridhar1.50megs.com/index.html

Sorry, I had the url wrong.

I mean layers. Atleast that's what I think they are called. I have a sample
site at http://sridhar1.50megs.com/dd.htmlPlease have a look at it. I have
used layers there.
In the other site i.e. http://sridhar1.50megs.com/index.html, I have not
used layers and so it is only best viewd at 800*600 Resolution and with other
res. there is a gap between the main heading and submenus. Hope this is clear.
Please let me know if you have a solution to my problem.

A layer is netscapes implementation of the SPAN TAG. DIV is Microsofts.
Be aware that if u place an OCX on the page close enough underneath the menu
code or place the DHTML into a frame (Seems ok in an IFRAME) then the menu
appears behind that object and you cannot use it.

Causing us some major headaches at the moment.

Couldn't actually pick up what the original problem was? It displays almost
perfectly on my 1024x768 although the offest width could use a tweak (Is
that the problem?)

We did our internal one using a stylesheet and is a standad corperate desktop
so not faced that problem yet :)

Michael,

Your cross-browser menus don't seem to downgrade well. Was this deliberate
or an oversight?

Otherwise they look really good.

Thanks Bronwyn,

To be honest, I haven't had time to consider "downgradability".

Downgrade to what?

downgrade to NS3.0

What I basically mean is that if you happen to not have a DHTML browser then
the page should still look the same. With the way you've currently got it
set up if you open it in a non-DHTML browser you've got huge slabs of menu
items showing.

My cross-browser dhtml api "requires" a version 4+ browser. gotta draw the
line somewhere :)
