[thelist] mouseovers with layers??

[Karen Whitman]

there is a dreamweaver script that can be used on mouseover and works in all
browsers (incl N6).  its called 'tmt_selectLayer'.  you can get the
dreamweaver extension at http://www.massimocorner.com/ or use the script
manually. its used at www.securant.com

with this function, you can only select a layer, not hide it. In order to
shut it or deselect it, select another layer.  You can use an empty/clear
layer to make it appear as if all layers are off.

hope that helps,

karen

Hi Gang,

is it practical or feasible to have layers connected to a mouseover.  I have
a client that saw on a site some mouseovers that were headings (as images)
that changed to a lots of more text (as image).  I could do this for him but
Ive told him that this is not a good thing?!  ( on his site they would be
big images)

So can it be done with layers.  I can format the text headings to look like
what he wants (Comic Sans..can you believe that?) but can I get a layer to
come forward and overlay the heading.  Would positioning the layer be a pain
in the arse?  I think I can convince him that straight headings with text
below them is fine.  Unfortunately he see things on the web like animated
gifs and 3d rotating logos and wants to have it all.  Im sure soon he will
be asking me to have blinking text or a marquee scrolling across the
screen....then again...he is paying me!

Thoughts, comments, suggestions, code....gratefully accepted.
