DHTML, Layers, and Tables

[geiger]

im making a new template just for the heck of it, and i wanted to add an iframe in it for content. however, because it does not work in netscape, i looked to dhtml. my page uses a table which's width is 100% and it has a set height. the table is then centered vertically.

within that table, i have a streching cell for content [298 by (100%-213)]. i don't think i can make dhtml, using layers, position itself relative to the table (i think you CAN, but thats not the only problem). also, since the content area streches horizontally, you can't set the width of the layers. is there an alternative? or is there a way around this.

Hi geiger,

I can't picture what you are saying, but...

Have you tried using <ilayer src=....> along with the <iframe> (which is IE's answer to NN's ilayer)? You can position an <ilayer> relative and <layer> within them absolutely.

What is an ilayer?

A layer can have a percentage width like a table!

[geiger]

hm... it can? well even THAT wouldnt help. i need 100%-213. i dont think it can do that. and even so, how do you position relative to a corner of a table? or a cell?

iframe is not the same as ilayer. You can internally navigate in an iframe but you cannot do this from and ilayer. It is very annoying because iframe is very cool and useful. Does anybody know an iframe alternative for netscape?
