Dreamweaver CS3 & Show/Hide Layers Problem

I'm trying to use Dreamweaver CS3 and the Show/Hide Layers
behaviour to show or hide another layer on a click. However, when I
go to the behaviours window and click on the plus to get the drop
down list of behaviours to choose from, 'Show/Hide Layers' isn't
there - can anybody help me?! I need this to get an assignment done
due in really soon.
Thanks

It goes well beyond DW's Show/hide, however....

Can someone please help? Show/Hide layers

Hi there,
I am making a site for a friend and am having some weirdness
that I can't figure out. I have a series of layers that show/hide
based on various selections. Nothing complicated by any means. I am
using the Dreamweaver Show-hide layers functionality. I am sure I
have used it before in exactly the same way and not had this
problem.
So here is what it is. The page loads and most of the layers
are set to hidden and then they get toggled on/off based on various
selections. For some reason when the page loads in IE, all of the
layers are visible. In Firefox they are hidden as intended.
If someone has come across this before, or could take a
moment to look at the site, I would be very grateful. I have stared
at this and tweaked it so much that I am at a loss and I know that
my friend is really needing her site to just be up and running.
Also, now that I think of it, (and this is more of a nuisance
than a problem) I am using the snap layers extension to position my
layers. When you look at my site you will see that the layers look
crazy when the page loads and then eventually move into place. Is
there a way to make it so the layers are just already in place? Or
even if they could not become visible until after they have
snapped?
Thanks in advance. I really do appreciate any help you could
provide.

I agree with the honest answer. This is a very poor way to
make a page.
Nevertheless, in DW's design view, use the A/P Element panel,
and make sure
that the eyeball icon is CLOSED for each layer that you want
to be hidden
when the page loads. Then save and upload the page.

DW: Show-Hide Layers

Hey, I’m having two issues with the Show-Hide Layers
behaviour in Dreamweaver and was wondering if someone else has had
the same problems and has a solution.
My test page is
http://www.petermcphee.com/dreamweaver/popup-layer.html
1) What I would like is to show the layer when the link is
hovered over, which works fine. However, I also want the layer to
remain visible while the mouse is over the layer and disappear when
the mouse leaves the layer.
I Googled for a while and found some tutorials that deal with
showing/hiding layers but they hide the layers once the mouse
leaves the original link, not the layer.
2) Also, the site that I want to apply this behaviour to has
an auto centering wrapper box, so I would like the layer to popup
right underneath the link every time without converting the entire
site to absolute positioning. As it is now, the popup appears at
different locations depending how wide my browser is.
Is this even possible with the current DW functionality?
Thanks a lot!
Peter.

When you show the layer, also show an underlying layer that
contains a
transparent GIF image that is about 10px wider/taller than
the layer you
show. Apply a hide layer behavior to the GIF image that hides
both the
layer you just showed, and the underlying layer. Remove the
mouseout hide
event from the original trigger. Does that make sense?

Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

Show/hide layers no mouseover option

I have MX (2004) and am trying to create a simple show/hide
layer behavior on some thumbnails/main images and it is just not
working for me. The behavior has the show/hide option, but it does
not show the arrows active to choose the mouseover and other
events. I have the 'show 4.0 browsers and later' box
checked...anyone know what else it could be? Is there a simple code
I can drop in (I'm an artist, not a programmer, so be gentle)? Any
immediate help at [email protected] would be very much
appreciated!

Do you actually have any layers on the page. You need to put
a layer on
the page first and then apply the show-hide layer behaviour.

Show/Hide layers?

I am creating a multimedia book. I want to have a button on the page that when clicked will bring up a flash movie in the center of the page and then a button to click that will make it go away.
I have done this quite easily in dreamweaver for websites by a show/hide layers button but do not see how to do it in indesign.
Thanks for any help...

You can't build that functionality in with InDesign — but you can with Acrobat Pro. You've got to use the form builder functions to create a button that will show or hide another element.

Disjointed Rollovers with show / hide layers

Creating a series of thumnails on a page which, when clicked
on, will bring up full size image in one spot and relevant text in
another. I'm using Show / Hide Layers to do this. I've got it all
working fine except stumbling on one thing. Probably obvious.
The question I have is how to make the currently showing
layers go away when the user clicks on another thumbnail. If I was
using onMouseover and onMouseout then that would be simple. But I
can't figure out how to automatically make the layers currently
showing go back to being hidden when another thumbnail is clicked.
What I get instead is the new layers appearing on top of the old
ones and making a mess.
Probably an obvious solution, but my brain is not getting it
at the moment. Suggestions?
Thanks...
-Jesse

Don't use the show/hide at all. Use SetText of Layer to write
the required
content into a single layer.
Or - if you don't quite get that, just use PVII's AutoLayer
extension which
will show one and hide all the rest automatically.

Show Hide Layers - Can't do "onmouseout"

I'm trying to do a show/hide layers on an image map hot spot.
I select the <area> tag from the hotspot, and can set the
show layer "onmouseover" but it won't let me set the hide layer for
"onmouseout". In fact when I try to set the "onmouseout", dw justs
makes another "onmouseover" behavior just like the one I already
have. ??? Thanks for any help.

Can you go to the behaviors panel and edit the second
"onmouseover" to
change it to an "onmouseout" ?

Opera Show/Hide Layers (k)

We have a fairly complex navigation using layers to show
dropdowns. It
works in almost all browsers except for Opera on the
Mac(haven't tried PC).
I imagine it doesn't like the Show/Hide Layers code.
Any thoughts about a work around?

Show/hide layers for repeated recordset data

Making links that show/hide layers?

Hi all,
I created an InDesign cs4 file which is pretty much a guide for users of my liveCicle form. I have a bunch of layers in the file.
I'm trying to make links associated with images that are in its own layers. So when i export the file to pdf and hit certain link, layer associated with that link shows up. I tryed to do this in acrobat 9 pro. I created links, but the problem is that links in non visible layers work behind the scene when i hover over.
Is there a way to set layer visability in inDesign CS4?
Thanks in advance

No you can´t toggle layer visibility with buttons made in indesign. You have to finish it in Acrobat....
Only way to make something appear or disappear in ID is to use show/hide buttons action...
You can convert those images you want to show&hide to buttons. Then you can create another buttons to show or hide them.
If you export as PDF, default state of a button can be hidden...

Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer ImageLinkTarget Problem

I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer component to make
a quick Flash slideshow.
I've set the ImageLinkTarget parameter to "_blank". However,
in the slideshow, mouse rollovers show
a hand cursor, but clicking opens the larger image in the
same browser window. Everything I have read says that
this setting should cause the link to open in a new window or
tab.
I have posted the code. If anyone has ever experienced this,
please let me know how to fix/work around it.
Thank you.

I'm just a user, like you. And I'd rather you not send things
directly to
me unless I request you to do this. If you have a problem
that cannot be
solved here, then your next option would be to contact Adobe
Tech Support
directly. I'm not very familiar with the Flash side of DW, so
I cannot be
of much help in this regard.

Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem...

I have searched the interent for hours trying to resolve this issue.
Everytime I open up DW, i get the error message:
"Adobe DW CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
When i click "send error report" or "Dont send," DW closes.
If I just leave that alone, i can work in DW.
The problem is its also doing it for Adobe Acrobat 8.0.
I am operating on XP.
I have tried to go in and unistall the entire Adobe Creative Suite. I click on "remove" and nothing happens.
I am really frustrated with this. Any help is appreciated.

Does CuteFTP work on it's own when DW is closed?
I too, use CuteFTP in conjunction with DW and have for many years and have never had such a problem.
Are you doing anything specific in Cute FTP when DW crashes?

Show/Hide Layers or Divs "onclick"

I'm trying to create a page of thumbnail images in a chess
board affect. I want to be able to click on a thumbnail and have a
larger version appear on the top left of the thumbnails covering
about 4 of them. The larger version needs to have some text and a
"close" button to hide the large image again. Similar to the image
gallery example on:
http://pmob.co.uk/pob/disjointed1.htm#null
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks

Use DW's Show/Hide behavior.

How do I show hide layers in dreamweaver CS6?

I'd like to use this instead of image swap, becuase I have images of different aspect ratios.

how do I stack images ontop of each other in the same place.
With CSS absolute positioning. Also be sure to apply position:relative to your parent container or #wrapper div.
#wrapper {
width: 90%;
position:relative;
#Layer1,
#Layer2,
#Layer3,
#Layer4 {
width: xxpx; /*your widest image*/
height:xxpx; /your tallest image*/
top: xxpx; /*position from top*/
left:xxpx; /*position from left*/
position: absolute;

Dreamweaver CS3 Scripting Youtube embedding Problems

I use embeds from youtube on my site. They are usually no
problem. Today I
upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to CS3. When saving my files and
uploading to the host, CS3
created two scripts that it said were necessary for
standards-based sites and
applications:
AC_Activex.js
AC_Runactivecontent.js
CS3 indicated that they must be uploaded in "Scripts" folder
to host. Now all my
embeds show up as a red x in IE7. Oddly enough they work in
Monzilla. Sounds like a version problem doesn't it? Although of
course my host (Bluehost) says it ain't their problem.

Check out the following extension:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1327520
From the looks of your code you were embedding Youtube links
as if they were Flash. However, while they are Flash, Youtube has
its own system for embedding. I believe Youtube does provide you
with code to do this. However, this plugin should do it all for you
from within Dreamweaver.
