Layers & browser compatibility

#1

I'm using PVII snap layers and that extension is working fine - as the browser
window is resized, the layers move along with it.

However, I find that my layers are located differently depending on the
browser that I use. In IE 6, when I mouse over one of the thumbnails on the
right of the page, the layer (using hide/show layers behavior) shows up in the
perfect location. Using Netscape 7.1, the layers are located about 40 pixels
left and 40 pixels lower than in IE.

suggestions? solutions? thanks.

This almost always means that you have placed them inside a table on your
page -

<td rowspan="10" align="center" valign="middle" bgcolor="#8395A4"> <img
src="images/spacer.gif" width="1" height="1"
onMouseOver="P7_Snap('semlorimage','lkite0',100,50 )">
<div id="lkite0" style="position:absolute; width:436px; height:395px;
z-index:1; top: 81px;">

- like that. Never put absolutely positioned page elements directly into a
table cell.

The solution is to remove each of the layer's code from the table and drop
it back into the page's code either directly below <body> or directly above
</body>.
