Hi all !
I have a page here where the buttons half way down initiate some show/hide
layers - on screen sizes where the user has to scroll down to see all the
buttons, initiating the show/hide layers makes the screen scroll back to the
top - it's not the end of the world but it is annoying

http://www.drawbox.co.uk/knoll/design3/page1.html

I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance for any assistance

This is a very poor way to make a 'website'. All your content is on a
single page....

Anyhow, change this -

<a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('spec','','graphics/spec2.gif',1)"><img
src="graphics/spec1.gif" name="spec" width="300" height="75" border="0"
id="spec"
onclick="MM_showHideLayers('imageslayer','','hide' ,'finisheslayer','','hide','magiczoom','','hide',' specificationsinner','','show')"
/></a>

to this -

<a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('spec','','graphics/spec2.gif',1)"
onclick="MM_showHideLayers('imageslayer','','hide' ,'finisheslayer','','hide','magiczoom','','hide',' specificationsinner','','show');return
false"><img src="graphics/spec1.gif" name="spec" width="300" height="75"
border="0" id="spec" /></a>

Note two changes -

1. Moving the onclick event from the <img> tag to the <a> tag, and
2. Adding the ";return false" to the event call

Hi Murray, thanks for that - I'll give it a blast...

PS It's not the entire site, I haven't finished (started, really) the
navigation yet...there are at least another 96 products that need similar pages
to this one.

Yikes....

Good luck.

Uh ...

Remember that not all users have JavaScript and Flash. To them the site
will look pretty naked and totally useless. There's not much of usable
content. For example why is the specification put into Flash instead of
proper HTML? This doesn't make any sense, but creates a lot of problems!

You might want to use a widget such as our Glide Panel to handle that lower
panel. That way, if someone visits the page with script disabled, all of the
content will be visible.

If you have CS3, there are some basic (and free) widgets included.

Just when there was a light at the end of the tunnel.....I have switched the
'specifications' layer from flash to html which works fine UNTIL I give it the
attribute - overflow: auto; - which I need to account for different text
volumes

No problem in IE but the Flash file layers stop working in
firefox.....slightly annoying to say the least

Answering my own questions ! (after a fashion)

Took wmode="transparent" out of the flash movies and hey presto....however it now seems to have affecvted the z-index somewhat adversely...:confused;

Let's see your page, please.

Here's version.....er...I've lost count....I've done a hide layer onLoad to
the two layers with the flash content but as you can see it's not exactly ideal
as the content still flashes up while the swf loads I guess before the actual
layer I want ends up on top - I've tried messing around with the z-index to no
avail...
