Dreamweaver MX 2004 bug

[mchat]

I was using a dynamic function in Dreamweaver MX that has layers and when you hover over these arrows at the bottom, the content scrolls up. When I upgraded to Dreamweaver MX 2004, the WYSIWYG

I had to edit it, but I did it immediately, so this is what I continued with....

view has the layers go across in width as 516( 6094957) in the <td> tag and
759(6095171) as the table width. When I view it in the browser, it looks fine,
but it's difficult to design this in Dreamweaver when I'm constantly trying to
find the layers.

When I take out this tag,
<ilayer name="nscontainer" width=460 height=365 clip="0,0,460,365">
<layer name="nscontent" width=460 height=365 visibility=hidden>
</ilayer></layer>,
the table width snaps back to the correct size - 759 and the <td> is back to
516 in the WYSIWYG.

Help! If I can't get this corrected, I will have to downgrade to just MX.

Why are you using <ilayer>? This tag is only recognized by NN4.

I don't think this tag is relevent bc this same code works in Dreamweaver MX as a WYSIWYG and the WYSIWYG turns up funky when I upgraded to MX 2004.

[Murray *TMM*]

Why are you using it at all?

DMX was much less savvy about proper HTML than DMX2004 is. If your page
contains invalid HTML (and the <ilayer> tag is invalid HTML), then all bets
are off in DMX2004.

Bottom line is why does it work for one and not the other? What do I need to do?

[Murray *TMM*]

It is invalid code. DMX tolerated invalid code. DMX2004 is stricter about
that. Remove the <ilayer> tag.

My whole page isn't in layers, it's inside a table to make a javascript
function.

This is that section:
<script type="text/javascript">

iens6=document.all||document.getElementById
ns4=document.layers

//specify speed of scroll (greater=faster)
var speed=1

if (iens6){
document.write('<div id="container"
style="position:relative;width:460px;height:365px; border:0px solid
black;overflow:hidden">')
document.write('<div id="content"
style="position:absolute;width:455px;left:0;top:0" >')
}
</script>

<ilayer name="nscontainer" width=460 height=365 clip="0,0,460,365">
<layer name="nscontent" width=455 height=365 visibility=hidden>

Good grief. I just noticed that you not only have the <ilayer> tag, but you
also have the <layer> tag. Neither of those tags are supported in ANY
browser other than NN4x. Why on earth? You will have to -

1. REMOVE this code from a table
2. Use a <div> tag for the 'layer' functionality

If you cannot do that, then I can't help you. DMX2004 will simply not
display these invalid tags.

Thing is, it works in the browser. The code is fine bc I have
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
if (iens6)
document.write('</div></div>')
</script>

The issue is that it looks stretched out in DWMX2004 editing mode and makes
the table look wide in the WYSIWYG, but when I view it in a browser, it is fine
and when it is uploaded on the server it is fine. I just want it to look like
it does in DWMX as I am editing. That's the only issue. In the editing mode, it
doesn't look right. I don't know if there's a setting in DWMX2004 that is off.
Most of my site has this, so it's a little inconvenient to view these pages
like this while editing.

[Murray *TMM*]

I see. Sorry for the bandwidth. I just don't think I can help you....

Have you checked the page in Firefox or on the Mac?

That's fine....
It works in the browsers, it just comes up funky in the DWMX2004 program/editor, but it looks fine when I open the page in the DWMX editor.

Thanks anyways.

DW isn't a true WYSIWYG program. Never ever rely on it to see how a page
will look in a browser. You HAVE to open the page in a browser to test.
