layers

can someone explain to me how to fix this behavior.

I have a layer on top of the layer, depending on the browser or the
screen resolution, sometimes the layer underneath is longer then the
one on top and sometimes it's the other way around.

Is there a way to lock them so they wouldn't change the size and look
the same in each situation?

can I fix this using CSS?

Thanks
Maggie

What do you mean by layer? It is not well defined term.

I see no reason to use two "layers" there. Nor can I see use for all
those tables, nor fixed width.

Your code is pretty much unreadable, I think that is because wysinwyg
program. I suggest you start by making it sencible. (problems are endless
empty paragraphs, too many layout tables etc.)
After that, it is quick to make the CSS from scratch, and get rid of pt
and pt units as you go.

This is yet another of those odd comments I see from time to time. It would
seem to me, in the context of the group ciwas, that "layering" atleast
is very well defined; and that "layer" follows quite clearly.

Can you explain why you mean it is not well defined ?

Jumping in the conversation; <layer> was an NetscapeHTML element. So
there might be some confusion there. Container/ div/ absolutely
positioned block-level element etc. can be used also.

How can you see my code? I didn't post the URL to my page

I propably wrote this bit before I thought I had seen the site. So that's
why I asked what she meaned by layer.

Propably, but hard to tell whitout actually knowing the problem.

To know if my suggestion was incorrect, I would need to see the URL. I
would guess that my advice is pretty good anyway, exept your code is
propably better than the one I thought was yours.

Hm. That is strange. I still remember how "your" site looked. It had two
layers, of which one was wider than other. Maybe it was some coincidence,
and I replied to wrong post? I sometimes have 10 follow-ups open at time,
so I might have mistaken, especially since both had essentially same
problem.
