Image map rollover with hotspots on rollover image

(It'd sure be easier if you top posted)

So does this mean that I am dealing with some
margin/ padding issues between FF and IE with the rest of my layout
excluding
apDivs?

It appears that the page placement of those bottom images depends on the
height of the content regions. That's a bad situation, indeed.

I wasn't really sure what you were refering to.

The space between the left of the right shoulder and the left colored region
of the page.

Lastly, should I be referencing the position of my ApDv from the image
container (div#robertContainer) that sits below it? I would set that div
to
relative position and then the apDivs would reference position from that?
Then
what todo about the relative position of the main #container div? Keep it
relative?

Yes - try that. It makes sense.

Murray,

Thanks for pointing that out. I have been playing with it. From what I can
see, by shortening the amount of text in top paragraph, the lower placed
static
positioned divs move up the page with the flow of the layout and the (as
you
said) the apDivs are unaffected, so they stay in place.. thus creating the
alignment issue of the two images.So does this mean that I am dealing with
some
margin/ padding issues between FF and IE with the rest of my layout
excluding
apDivs?

I tried Zeroing out all of the margin and padding in the body tag but to
no
avail. I also looked over the two displays in ff and IE as you suggested
and I
am not sure what you you meant when you said, " Looking in FF, note how
much
MORE space is to the left of the arm than in IE." I looked it over and
assumed
you meant space from the left of the hand (when looking at the screen) to
the
left of the #container? I wasn't really sure what you were refering to.

Lastly, should I be referencing the position of my ApDv from the image
container (div#robertContainer) that sits below it? I would set that div
to
relative position and then the apDivs would reference position from that?

relative?
Man this can get complicated :-(

Thanks for sticking with me....up past 2am last night

Holy smokes man! ....I think i got!.....It took a lot of wrestling with this
but I now have a bit of a grasp on how the apDiv works.
http://highschoolforthehumanities.or...dexSample.html I do
believe it is working properly in IE 7 and latest FF browser. I ended up
sticking a relatively positioned spacer/control div under the bulleted text
and then putting all the apDivs in that, then set the top position of apDivs
to 0 and that keeps everything aligned as the text is enlarged and the page
expands.

I tried to get some help in other forums and got very few takers a couple of
guys just told me I shouldn't use apDivs and that I was treating the web like
it was "paper". I kind of feel otherwise. I am actually not using tables,
working with css based layout and validating my code to XHTML 1.0 Strict. One
guy wouldn't even look at my page a second time unless I removed the swoosh
sound ...lol...there are some real wacky people out there.

Do you think this is a poor layout that I have chosen for this page? it's
intended as a home page, the next pages will be without the hand rollover
image. would you have chosen a different method,... is the sound
annoying...what's your opinion?

Thanks for all the help, it felt good to figure out the last portion of the
solution on my own through my own thought process,

ps not sure how to top post so sorry about that

Me too.

You have to know who to listen to and who to ignore. It's a jungle out
there.

Actually, I was going to recommend the same. Get rid of it.

Do you think this is a poor layout that I have chosen for this page?

Yes, a bit. I hate pages where the navigation is "mystery meat". Sorry.

And, you'll never forget it now.
