How do I lock a layer in FP '03 so it wont move when?

[Guest]

I want to make sure the text on the site doesn't move when the screen changes
(ie a side bar is open for yahoo messenger)?

Layers *are* locked by definition. It's the rest of the page that is
moving.

Can you show me your page, please?

comarketing.org - click on test (at the lower left hand corner). When your
screen doesn't have sidebars open it is perfect, but once a sidebar is
opened, the text moves.

There would be nothing you could do in your browser that would cause that
layer to move from its position -

<div style="position: absolute; width: 529px; height: 265px; z-index: 1;
left: 282px; top: 271px" id="layer1">

It will always be 282pixels from the left margin and 271 from the top
margin.

On the other hand, this -

<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="background%20copy.jpg" width="760" height="600"></p>

is going to be loosy goosy all over the screen (note the centering
paragraph).

I'm guessing the only reason you used the layer would have been to position
the text.

If you had used a centering table instead with that image as the table's
background, you wouldn't have this problem, no?

Oh, and no layer - put the content in the table.
