layers moving when previewed

G

Guest

I am new to Frontpage and have tried everything but can't figure out why my
layers move when I preview them. I have a calendar and am trying to position
a layers across the week to indicate someone is on vacation for the week.
When I go to preview the page, the layer moves. Can someone please tell me
why. By the way, I do not know HTML.

I had a feeling you would ask me for the code. How do you want me to show
you the page? Should I sent it to you or do I just past it here? Do I also
paste the code here? I am new to this discussion group too so please be
patient with me :).

The answers are *always* in the code! 8)

Can you upload the file and post a link to it?

Can you tell me how to do that?! Sorry I don't know how!!! I know what you
are talking about, I just don't know how to do it exactly.

Ok, I forgot to tell you that I am just starting to create my website and
don't have ANYTHING but 1 page created. I don't have an official website yet
and I'm just starting all of this so I don't think I can do the second thing
you asked me to do. I hope I copied what you asked me to...

OK - this will do.

Be aware that Bookman is not a web safe font, so the only person who will
reliably see this face is you. Others may well see Times/Times New Roman if
they don't have that font installed.

Here's your layer -

<td WIDTH="86%" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="6" HEIGHT="105"
bordercolor="#000000">
<div style="border:1px solid #000000; position: absolute; width: 512px;
height: 12px; z-index: 1; left: 253px; top: 858px; background-color:
#800000;
padding-left:4px; padding-right:4px; padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px"
id="layer1" align="center">
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1">
<span style="background-color: #800000">Mike -
Vacation</span></font></div>
<p></td>

It's in a table cell. This is a violation of one of the 'layer laws!' -

http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp

Change that code to this -

<td WIDTH="86%" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="6" HEIGHT="105"
bordercolor="#000000"></td>

and change this code -

<body>

to this -

<body>
<div style="border:1px solid #000000; position: absolute; width: 512px;
height: 12px; z-index: 1; left: 253px; top: 858px; background-color:
#800000;
padding-left:4px; padding-right:4px; padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px"
id="layer1" align="center">
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1">
<span style="background-color: #800000">Mike -
Vacation</span></font></div>

What this has done is to move the 'layer' out of the table cell, and place
it directly under the body tag. Since these things are *absolutely
positioned* it doesn't matter where their code appears on the page, as long
as it's not inside something "prohibited".

Does that help?

This is all overwhelming to me but I'm just starting. There is so much to
learn but I hope to figure this out. I am creating an internal website so I
think I can use the fonts I used but am only "playing" with the ones I used
and nothing you saw is actually my final website. As for the layer laws, I
had no idea! My goodness, there is so much info out there. Thanks for the
website. It was good info. Now, about the new code, I think I understand
the first part and what I need to do but as far as the second part. What do
you mean about "change this code - body (and you don't say what afterwards)
and then you list a new code. Do you want me to replace all of my code that
I sent you with the new code that you list? The body?

Thanks so much for all of your help!!!

Look at your code view for the page.

Find this code -

<td WIDTH="86%" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="6" HEIGHT="105"
bordercolor="#000000">
<div style="border:1px solid #000000; position: absolute; width: 512px;
height: 12px; z-index: 1; left: 253px; top: 858px; background-color:
#800000;
padding-left:4px; padding-right:4px; padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px"
id="layer1" align="center">
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1">
<span style="background-color: #800000">Mike -
Vacation</span></font></div>
<p></td>

Change it so that it looks like this (you can cut and paste) -

<td WIDTH="86%" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="6" HEIGHT="105"
bordercolor="#000000"></td>

Then find this code -

<body>

and change it so that it looks like this -

<body>
<div style="border:1px solid #000000; position: absolute; width: 512px;
height: 12px; z-index: 1; left: 253px; top: 858px; background-color:
#800000;
padding-left:4px; padding-right:4px; padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px"
id="layer1" align="center">
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1">
<span style="background-color: #800000">Mike -
Vacation</span></font></div>

Does that make sense?

Ok, I don't know what I did wrong but it figures that it didn't work for me!
Here's my code...

I'm sure I did something wrong.

You didn't generalize my instructions. I failed to notice that you had 4
layers on the page, and only gave you directions for how to fix the first of
them. You can figure out how to do the rest, no? In addition, you will
probably need to reposition the layers after taking them out of the table
structure....

OK - this will do.

Be aware that Bookman is not a web safe font, so the only person who will
reliably see this face is you. Others may well see Times/Times New Roman if
they don't have that font installed.

Here's your layer -

<td WIDTH="86%" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="6" HEIGHT="105"
bordercolor="#000000">
<div style="border:1px solid #000000; position: absolute; width: 512px;
height: 12px; z-index: 1; left: 253px; top: 858px; background-color:
#800000;
padding-left:4px; padding-right:4px; padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px"
id="layer1" align="center">
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1">
<span style="background-color: #800000">Mike -
Vacation</span></font></div>
<p></td>

It's in a table cell. This is a violation of one of the 'layer laws!' -

http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp

Change that code to this -

<td WIDTH="86%" VALIGN="TOP" COLSPAN="6" HEIGHT="105"
bordercolor="#000000"></td>

and change this code -

<body>

to this -

<body>
<div style="border:1px solid #000000; position: absolute; width: 512px;
height: 12px; z-index: 1; left: 253px; top: 858px; background-color:
#800000;
padding-left:4px; padding-right:4px; padding-top:1px; padding-bottom:1px"
id="layer1" align="center">
<font color="#FFFFFF" size="1">
<span style="background-color: #800000">Mike -
Vacation</span></font></div>

What this has done is to move the 'layer' out of the table cell, and place
it directly under the body tag. Since these things are *absolutely
positioned* it doesn't matter where their code appears on the page, as long
as it's not inside something "prohibited".

Does that help?
