I have a long web page (requires scrolling) that contains a series of tables. I want the user to be able to mouse over some of the cells in the tables in order to cause a hidden layer to be displayed (there is one hidden layer for each of these cells in each of the tables; if there were three tables each having two cells that could be moused over then there would be 6 hidden layers) that gives the user more information of how the number in that table's cell was calculated.
If I make the hidden layers absolute then depending on where the users have scrolled to in the page they cannot see the layer when I display it (it might not be in the viewable part of the window).
If I make the hidden layer's relative (just above the cell that they would mouse over) then they can alwasys see the layers. This is perfect, except that the layer occupies theoretical space in the document and ends up creating a great deal of speration between the tables in my document (something that I do not want).
I want to display the tables one after another as if there were no layers and then have the approriate layer always appear slightly above the location where the mouseover occured.
Is this possible? Thanks in advance.
