Layers in In line Frames - just sharing some info
Posted: Fri Sep 21, 2007 2:15 pm
To get scrolling text (info, etc) on a page, you might use an in-line frame and link the content to a new page that just has a text field but did you realise that you can also add other items to the frame source text page? As an example, visit supake.co.uk and click the 'Point-of-Presence' link. The text there comes from a separate page with just a text field on it.
On this page you should see a red box highlighting Google. If you now hover over this, a pop definition appears. This is a Layer (in the source field) with a text field, graphic and shape item placed on it. The red box determines when the layer is shown or hidden by using Events. Just remember to make your Layer invisible at loading by putting <div style="visibility:hidden"> in the HTML 'Before tag' and </div> in the 'Close tag'.
Apologies if this is obvious to you but thought it might be handy to know!
