Hi Bob,
I haven't actually tried this, and I can't see what you're making, but couldn't you position it using percentages? instead of something like :
style="position:absolute; left:100; top:10"
or whatever, couldn't you have:
style="position:absolute; left:10%; top:2%"
that way it would adjust to the screen resolution. Would that be right?
Just a thought anyway and might give you a new angle on it.

You will have exactly the same problems with monitor sizes if you use tables.

What you could do is center your layers in the middle of the page. You could either mathematically position your elements with the page width and height or place your layers inside a centered layer inside a table. It sounds a bit confusing but is not too hard to do.

Lloyd,

Thanks for your reply. I did some digging into the use of layers/dhtml and was able to get this to work just the way I wanted it. However, I have what may be a stupid question, but here goes:

Due to the fact that this is absolute positioning, isn't the layout going to appear different on a different size monitor? Is there a way to use some kind of relative positioning so it would look the same monitor to monitor? Thanks.

Bob

You could also try using absolutely positioned layers - Dhtml.

Hi,

You can also place your images into a table, making a hexagon or octogon shape. You then fill the empty cells in the table with curved, non-link images.
The image map would probably be easier though.

Use an image map that lets you arrange a single image into multiple clickable areas.
