Well media 100 was kinda forced to come up with something, since it basically had 2 layers and no compositing and motion effects capabilities of it’s own.

Hey Curtis, can you check it now? I gave the cells exact widths.
ALSO, I think I fixed the IE layer positioning problem. FWIW, the relative positioning of the layer within the cell is not based on a coordinate from the top left. It’s a coordinate based on the cell positioning. The table cell I had was set to default. In Safari or Firefox, that is the top. In IE Mac, it’s centered or baseline or something like that. (I’m continually having to adjust sites after seeing them in IE!)
So I tried setting the cell to top aligned, middle, and bottom and of course adjusting the coordinates of the layer. Still looked different in IE. I ended up having to use “baseline” as the centering for the cell, and then adjust the coordinates of the layer and all was perfect. At least on the mac side in all 3 major browsers.
Can ya check the IE windows?

Yikes. There is a table within the layer of course. But just 3 cells, not 6. I wanted the text to highlight when you mouse over the image so I had to keep them in the same cell. IE has never paid any attention to cell code, whether it be cell size or percentage or what. The mac version, 5.5 is light years ahead in this realm usually. When I work in DW, Safari shows things as DW does. Firefox, close. IE, never. IE windows? Fuhgettaboutit.

I can always achieve the same thing with tables, especially since you helped me get the random image as a background image. But I was trying to move into the 21st century and start using layers.
If you have IE on windows can you see if it’s same issue? Firefox is usually consistent across platorms, but not IE.
-
forgot to mention, the layer inside the cell is the 3 boxes labeled sales & mktg, training, projects.
They look the same in Safari and Firefox, but appear higher in IE mac. Argh.

Aha!
I wasn’t aware that you had changed the javascript! I thought you had just changed the call from a picture to a background picture with the ID=”” Now I get it. I was able to get it to work when I left the script inline, which is actually just fine. But when I tried to link to my old script (forget where I got that – I didn’t write it) it was blank.
Good to go now. I think.

Hmmm. Works! Except I can’t seem to get my random image generator to work now. I wasn’t aware that you could use it on the bgrnd image or I would have done that from the start. But I’m just getting nothing now. I inserted your bgrnd code, and the table to keep the size, but it’s not calling the random image. I shouldn’t have had to change anything, or do I have to put the script inside the page now instead of externally?
I reuploaded.

Ok, I’ve temporarily uploaded it to https://recalltohonor.com/homepage.php
The white area at the top is always the same size as the div layer. More text = more white space. I don’t use layers generally, but it’s time to make the switch. If I can get this figured out I may try to recreate the site without tables.

That update would have come with QT Pro 6. If you’ve upgraded to QT 7 then you’ve lost your QT Pro functionality. You can spend $30 for QT 7 Pro or wait until you buy FCP 5.
And FCP doesn’t support mpeg. Export mpeg with QT Pro or other program like compressor to a quicktime mov format.

The new MacBook isn’t hampered by mirroring, so it can support a 23″ display, while also supporing it’s 13″ display.
