hello.

at this time i'm having two diferent problems and at this time hven´t found
any conclusive solutions.

1st problem:

if I have a page based on a table, (align property = center), every time I
resize my browser window the table is always centered. Fine it's what I
want.
Can I do the same thing in a page based in layers?
If I have a layer inside a cell, when I resize the browser window, the layer
rests in the same old place. why? should it go with the cell?

2nd problem.

I'm making a nav banner in XARA.
I need to tell xara to open the index2.html with width=800,height=350.
is it possible to do it? how?

sorry about the english mystakes....

please help.

Yes, with css. Try this cut the cut below and paste it directly before
the closing </head> tag of your pages code.

<style type="text/css">
#mylayer {
width: 400px
height: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #999;
position: relative;
}
</style>

Place the following piece of code directly after the opening <body> tag

<div id="mylayer">This is the container</div>

Now you can place all of your absolutely positioned layers inside this
'container' layer and they will move with it when the browser viewport
is widened and narrowed.

Go here and see tis in action. It was devised by a forum regular.

You shouldnt place a layer (absolutely positioned <div> ) in a cell, its
not good practice.

Thankx

XARA is a software that builds navigation bars and other funny things.
The poit is... in a single line of code, can I order a window to open and at
the sime time define de size of it?

I need the window "empresa.html" to open with 400x300, without scroll bars,
status bar, etc....

this is part of the code of the js file with the nav bar.

startMainMenu("menu01_left.gif",18,5,2,0,0)
mainMenuItem("menu01_b1",".gif",18,98,loc+"../../obras.htm","","EMPRESA",2,2
,"menu01_plain");
mainMenuItem("menu01_b2",".gif",18,98,"java script:;","","PRODUTOS",2,2,"menu
01_plain");
mainMenuItem("menu01_b3",".gif",18,98,loc+"../../obras.htm","","NOVIDADES",2
,2,"menu01_plain");
mainMenuItem("menu01_b4",".gif",18,98,loc+"../../obras.htm","","LOJA
ONLINE",2,2,"menu01_plain");
mainMenuItem("menu01_b5",".gif",18,98,loc+"../../obras.htm","","CONTACTOS",2
,2,"menu01_plain");
mainMenuItem("menu01_b6",".gif",18,98,loc+"../../obras.htm","","PROFISSIONAI
S",2,2,"menu01_plain");
endMainMenu("menu01_right.gif",18,5)

how can I define it?????

Pedro:

XARA is an all-javascript menu system. It will cause the identical problems
that any all-javascript menu system causes.

OK.

But my doubt remains:

in this line of code can I define the page 'obras.htm' to open with 400x300?

mainMenuItem("menu01_b1",".gif",18,98,loc+"../../obras.htm","","EMPRESA",2,2
,"menu01_plain");

or I must define it on the the page?

if so, how to do it?

sorry about the insistense

This can be cause be a couple of things...If you can show the code for the entire page the design geniuses here could tell you the problem in a heartbeat.

Set your body margins using the following in the head of your document just
below the closing </head>.

<style type="text/css">

</style>

ok not sure if any of that worked for you but if you want to open a window with a specific size in javascript you can try this link.

http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jwinopen.htm

considering your menu system is all java-based, it should work fine. Let me know if this helps. I'm pretty busy during the day, but I don't mind helping. You always can learn something form everyone. I have designed and manage http://www.neigps.com
