Show/Hide Layers - Safari Not Showing

Hi,

I have created a drop down menu in Dreamweaver 8 using the show hide layers
behavior. The menu works fine in everything except Safari. Having done a bit
of a look around with Google I can see that Safari doesn't seem to support it.

Is this the case, and if so is there a work around that anyone knows of please?

thanks
Michael

of a look around with Google I can see that Safari doesn't seem to support
it.

Where did you find that?

Anyhow, show us the page so we can see what you have done.

Here is part of the problem -

<div id="manor" onmouseover="MM_showHideLayers('manor','','show')"
onmouseout="MM_showHideLayers('manor','','hide')"
onload="MM_showHideLayers('manor','','hide')">

Applying behaviors directly to div tags is going to give you problems in
some browsers. That's why Safari is not doing what you expect. If you want
to make your drop-menus using this method, you should read these tutorials -

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorial...enus/index.htm

or

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorial...hide/index.htm

and here's an example you can analyze -

http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/autolayers/


Also, this is not best practice -

<img src="Images/Nav/Manor/nav_entrancehall.jpg" alt="Entrance Hallway"
name="entrance" border="0" id="entrance"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('entrance','','Images/Nav/Manor/nav_over_entrancehall.jpg',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" />

Event handlers applied directly to image tags will fail to produce the
pointer finger in the browser. You should always use the <A> onmouseevent
event when applying behaviors directly to <img> tags - that way, you'll get
the behavior on an <a> tag that wraps the <img> tag, rather than directly on
the <img>.

Murray,

Thanks for that information, all makes sense. I have implemented the
autolayers, hidelayers method - on <A> tags, rather <DIV> or <IMG> but still
not working in Safari - any ideas:

thanks for you help

Works OK for me in Safari 2.0.4.
