layers, DW4.01 vs MX

Curious about this...Going thru tutorial at
http://projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/snapmenus/index.htm.
Using their supplied files (in 4.01) I could not get access to the layers -
the dialog stayed greyed out (Yes I'm in Table Standard View mode). Tried
everything - no luck. Pull the same files up in MX, switch to standard mode and
voila - all's well. What's up with that?


Thx

Chances are it's because of the antiquity of the Dreamweaver 4 DOM and
its inability to recognize absolutely positioned elements unless the CSS
is declared on the tag itself (rather than in a style sheet). However, I
don't recall that being an issue. You may want to try our new Auto
Show-Hide which allows for working with any ID'd item - not just
absolutely positioned DIVs

Thx - I'll try the extension out.

It's not an issue. I used fully qualified CSS layers with DW4....
