Layers?

[minorleaguer]

Maybe this is not a good layout for a page but I am using an image as most of
my home page. It was given to me by my client and it is an image which was
used as a brochure and they want the same look for the site. So, I have the
image with a nav bar on top and all.

But what I want to do is place a java script and a flash movie right on top of
the image. So, what I did was set up layers for the javascript and for the
flash. The javascript is a script that is a scroller that scrolls through a
list of names. It is transparent so it scrolls through the list of names so
that as it scrolls the background is the image.

I am having trouble with the positioning of the layers. Actually I don't even
know if I should be using layers. I just don't know if there is any other way
to do what I need to do. But anyway, when I center the table which includes
the main image and the nav bar, the layer moves around. On computers with
larger monitors the scrolling list is way off to the left. outside the table
which contains the page.'

I don't know if I am making sense but, if there is a better way to do this,
please let me know.

You're right. It's not.

Look carefully and you'll see that the layer doesn't move at all. It's the
table that moves to a new center point.

Post a link to the page so I can see what you have done, please.

They gave me an image of a brochure and they said they wanted me to use it for the website, that is why I am using the image.

Thanks for your help.

What is it that is 'moving' for you?

So do you see the scrolling names on the screen? If I center the table that
holds everything to the middle, then on some larger displays the scrolling list
stays on the left side of the screen which ends up being white space. I guess
I don't know how to attach the layer to something (if you can) so that it moves
with the rest of the stuff in the table (like the huge image).

I don't know if I am explaining it correctly but I appreciate you trying to
help.

Oh - I was looking for it on that page. Here's how to do what you want -

Change this -

</head>

to this -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body { text-align:center; color:#CCC; }
#wrapper { text-align:left; width:720px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
-->
</style>
</head>

change this -

<body ...>

to this -

<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div><!-- /wrapper -->
</body>

and see if that helps.
