Re: IR Slices into DW Layers...for Rollovers-OK!

#1

Murray,

Sorry I panicked so abruptly. Went back & figured out how to create layout cells. Created 4 of those; & placed 2 of the 4 images. Went back again; & figured out how to create rollovers (DW drops them directly into the page)...so I placed those 2; & managed to arrange the 4 cells together.

Everything looks great, but I seem to have a default spacing of around 3/16" from the top & left of table to the edges of the page.

Anyway to get that closer?

Also: Now that the header of my home page is in the form of a table...if I create the rest of the site with layers...or if I mix layers & tables, is that bad?

Thanks very much; & thanks for the links, as well.

Sorry I panicked...had a tough day on the bricks & was in no mood to expend extra calculative energy. Once I relaxed, I managed to get it done.

I'm glad you persisted.

Now flush this part of your brain with Chlorox, and go back and figure out
how to do it in Standard Mode. Layout Mode is a death-trap for new
developers. Never use it again! 8)

I can't see your code <hint> but I guess this is because you haven't set
your page margins - the fix will be posted later.

Not at all. Just make sure that you understand some of the limitations of
using them together -

http://www.thepattysite.com/layer_laws.cfm

To set page margins -

Link to an external stylesheet (using DW's CSS editor), or embed a
stylesheet in your code (between <head> and </head>) with the following
style in it (embedded shown for cut-n-paste convenience) (assuming you want
zero margins) -

<style type="text/css">

</style>

you could also try

body { margin : 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0px; }

or

body { margin : 0px; padding:0px; }

as a shorthand method.

This will take care of the margins in IE4+ and NN6. To take care of NN4x,
you will need to use MODIFY | Page Properties... and set the two right hand
margin fields (marginwidth and marginheight) to 0.
