Layer positioning

[Andrew Banks]

I'm building a DHTML menu system but I am having the problem of positioning
the layers on different page widths. I know the problem is that I am using
absolute positioning but am unsure how else to do this in DWMX.

The page I am having problems with is at
[url]http://andrew-banks.co.uk/temp/temp_andy.htm[/url]

If you play with the width of the screen you'll see the layers are in a
fixed position. I want the top left corner of each layer to allign with the
bottom left corner of the corporate informartion button on the blue bar. Any
help is most appreciated.

Thanks

Have you tried the "Layout Designer 2" extension from
[url]www.projectseven.com?[/url] Or "Snap Layers" from the same source?

if your popups are within the same layer as the rollover-menu they will move
together.

I need help on my uncontrollable layers! I'm working on a macintosh and everytime I position a layer on my page, it doesn't appear in that position when I view it in explorer or safari. Thanks.

That's because DW's design view doesn't have a lot to do with reality in all
but the most basic cases...

Thank you for confirming what I was hoping wasn't true. I'm so used to "what I see is what I get!"

I'm having trouble position a search bar. I tried 2 different ways but I'm
still having trouble.

1) I used a layer for the search bar but I don't know how to set it so that it
will stay in the same spot. When I resize the browser, the layer seems to move
out of place. [url]http://lynwood.ca.us/deleteme2.htm[/url]

If anyone can help, please respond. Thanks
