Problem with capes in Dreaweaver 8

[marlem2000]

Hi everybody :)

I show up as a new user in this forum. I'm here cos I have to make a website
for professional reasons and I have no idea about this!
I have begun my site and now I get a problem with capes. It's in html format.
I'd like to fill a cape with an image and then get another different cape over
the first one. This way I'd be able to create a beatifull background.
The problem is when I make this and I previsualiaze my project in my
navigator, I can't see all capes! :( I have set them in the right order but I
can't see them and I don't know what's happening.
I'm very desperated and I have asked for help in many forums but I didn't get
replay yet. May you help me?

Many many thanks

[Murray *ACE*]

"CAPE"? What's that?

Oh, sorry, Murray *ACE*, my level of English is terrible. I think the right word is "layer". If you want I can upload an image about this.

Really really thanks

[Murray *ACE*]

Post a link to your page, please, so I can see what you are trying to do.

Thanks a lot, Murray. :) The first pic is this:

<img src="http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4931/website19ws.jpg" alt="Image
Hosted by ImageShack.us" />


The red arrow means that layer must be over the second one (the second layer
is marked with a green arrow).

This is the result in my navigator:

<img src="http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/889/website25ar.jpg" alt="Image
Hosted by ImageShack.us" />

As you can see, only one layer appears (the one that was marked with a green
arrow)
Two both layers are set in right order so I don't know what's happening :(

[Murray *ACE*]

Can you show me your code? That's where the answers are....

I hope it's properly copied; unluckly, I don't understand about codes:(

One more time, many thanks, Murray

[Murray *ACE*]

> I hope it's properly copied;

It is for the most part (although, I'd like to see the CSS too).

> unluckly, I don't understand about codes:(

If you are serious about web development, you will have to fix this. You
cannot be effective/productive until you understand HTML and CSS.

I can see one problem in the code you have pasted below -

> <td width="800" height="684"><div id="Layer12">

You must never place an absolutely positioned element directly into a table
cell. Perhaps the easiest way to overcome your problems would be to change
that line of code to this -

<td width="800" height="684"><div style="position:relative;"><div
id="Layer12">

and then this line -

> </div>
> </div></td>

to this -

</div>
</div>
</div></td>

By the way, this line -

> </div>
> </div></td>

is definitive proof that you have nested one layer inside another, which is
why when you delete the outer layer, you delete both of them.

Oh, my God! I can't manage! This is a real nightmare for me. :(Now my site
looks a mess. I understand my problem is I don't know anything about html code.
What can I do? Do you know anybody who can resolve this problem for me? Sorry
for the question. :(I chose Dreamweaver cos I didn't understand about codes or
programming and now I see there isn't another way :(
If there is any another option in Dreamweaver to resolve this I'd learn it

[Murray *ACE*]

> Oh, my God! I can't manage!

Why? Were my instructions not clear?

> What can I do?

Try doing what I suggested?

> Do you know anybody who can resolve this problem for me?

Many of those here and on the DW forum can. But, none of us are quite sure
what you want to happen on this site.

> now I see there isn't another way :(

That's would be correct.

Finally the problem is resolved! :) The solution was I must write in the
parameters section of the .swf archive:

parameter = wmode
value= transparent

Now all layers are in the right order and I can see them in all navigators :)

[Murray *ACE*]

Maybe.
