I'm missing something, here.
I've created a web page with layers and CSS and it looks great in
I.E. However, in Netscape 4.7, the page loses all images and CSS styles.
Not that it probably matters, but I have inserted the Netscape bug resizing fix
code.
What gives? I thought Netscape is supposed to be able to see layers?
BTW: I used Adobe Go Live, v.5 to do this. I am right about the fact that
Go Live uses the "floating boxes" tool as the layer creation tool? Is that where
I went wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Netscape 4.x does support layers. It was the first browser to do so, as a matter of fact. But about what you're asking... could I possibly see your page/code? I have (on another machine) Netscape 4.x on a Windows 98 computer so I could take a look for ya...

Thank you for responding.
Attached is the website's work in progress. I had taken it home to look at it on
Netscape 6.2 and, of course, it worked beautifully.
I am perplexed. Any help is appreciate it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to rework the whole thing in pure tables.

OK, great, I'll take a look at it when I have more time later.

This is cross-posted on the CSS forum.
Oh. Was the question answered or does he still need help?

I had a similiar layer problem in Netscape 4 as well. But I used <ilayer> and <layer> tags instead of <div> tags. It worked and it's not too shabby.
Here are some URL's to great info on these layer tags:

Gil and Jona:
Thank you both for responding to my posts. Yes, the question was cross-posted (is that a no-no?). I thought it might be relevant to both forums.
Up to this time, I had not been able to try out the suggestions you both gave me but will try to sometime today (Saturday). I took the project home with me to work on without the hustle of my job getting in the way. Will post my progress if you like.
Again, thanks for all your help.
