display layer on page load

[Markku]

Amazing, John!
Thank you!

John, I'm trying to work out how you forced Layer 1 to pop up on page load in the example you posted for me in this thread.

Looking at the generated HTML I can see the answer is probably in the line:
'<script type="text/javascript"> window.open(document.getElementById('my_popup1').h ref,'_self');</script>'

But I can't find this in the .web document - where is it defined?

It is placed in the page Tracker code (the same place I suggested Markku).
Hovewer I had to change your design a bit to use graphical buttons instead of text links that pop up that layer. The button was given a name and this name was used in the script.
But anyway, this all is not very usefull for you as your design concept requires locking layers.

Thanks John, all is clear!

I read the section in Help you recommended. The below is unclear to me.
(See comments in red).

MouseDown - is the second type of the rollower layer (the first one is MouseOver). It works the same way as MouseOver, and it contains graphics that is used for the mouse down state (when you pressed the left mouse button on the object).

The "Bold" is mistake in help. It was intended to make all rollover layers bold in the following list.

What is meant by a MouseDown layer? Can a .web ile be posted which uses/demonstrates this?

After running through Gary Priester's tutorial or Vista-style buttons, I adjusted a few things to illustrate a MouseDown state. See attachment.

Curt:

Thank you for your example. It makes things clear. It is going in my Design Gallery for referral.

Note, by the way, that for proper function, the layer order must be:

MouseDown
MouseOver
MouseOff

MouseOver and MouseDown layers are equal so they may be swapped this way:

MouseOver
MouseDown
MouseOff
