turn web page picture layers on/off

G

Guest

I am hopeful that someone will be able to help with this problem. I am trying
to construct a web page as part of a site that contains a map. On this map I
would like to be able to 'turn on' and 'turn off' different laters that show
walking trails, points of interest, etc. All picture layers are GIF files and
with absolute positionaing are good geographical directions but when all are
displayed becomes cluttered. I would like to provide the option on the same
page to turn layers on/off or am I back to seting up multiple pages? This
will work but not as flexible.
Any suggestions??

Tabbed Page?

Tabbed Page?

This is a sample I did for a form but it sounds like what you want....

Thanks Bob, At a quick look this is what I need to do, except that I don't
want to hide the pages below - allowing the different overlays - transparent
to be seen over the base map.
I will have to het bact to this later today as have to go to work.
Again thanks for the really prompt help.

The problem might be that with transparent layers you might "see" all of
them at all times.

Just My first thought...
But I am sure that you can produce the effect you are looking for....

Thanks for your help Bob,
I am very new to code and whilst I understand 'Behaviours' to a small degree
this problem has me really tossed.
I have tried to use behaviours from fresh, tried to copy your code and have
ended up in a mess.
What I am trying to do is to have a basis aerial picture in a national park
and to overlay this with transparent 'gif' images that show walking tracks,
Points of interest etc. When I use swap image in Behaviours I cannot seem to
be able to set the transparency of the overlay?
I also am an old Man!! Well past retiring age so I am very happy to listen
to any ramblings, they are certainly sure to be better than what I am doing.
Any further assistance would be appreciated.

Ren,

I made a quick page up using 2 .gif files on the site...
Take a look and see if this is more of what you were thinking about?
A background image then overlay the gif on it so you can see them both...
If not then let me know where I went wrong...
