Show/hide behavior is gray

Question

I have a series of VERY simply constructed pages to which I
would like to add hidden layers that appear on selection of text.
Two things seem out of the ordinary to me. First, my behaviors menu
doesn't allow me to select "show/hide layer." I haven't run into
this problem on other pages I've built recently (for example,
http://www.allnumbedup.com/numb/cart.shtml).
Secondly, none of my layers show up in the "Layers" panel, so that
I cannot toggle the eye icon.
Any ideas why this is happening? An example can be found at
http://www.karisteeves.net/lying/hurricane.shtml
The layer in question appears at the top of the page with a
painting by Titian in it. I'd like to position it absolutely at
some point.
Many thanks for any light you can shed.

Answer 1

And by the way, you'd be well advised to give layers a
complete 'bye' until
you have a better grasp of all the reasons why you WOULDN'T
want to use
them! Here's one of the more important ones -
