I agree with the two of you.

If you want to use Xara Web Designer as a production tool (for realtively simple websites), and you don't want creation/maintenance nightmares, then seriously consider keeping everything on the MouseOff and MouseOver layers. Whatever you might place on the [multi-level]dropdown menus, consider putting on a secondary system, as a left-hand column menu. I'll have to work up an example.

While it has been challenging and enlightening learning this layering system, it representa way too much work for the Xara Web Designer's target market.

Perhaps tomorrow I'll construct an alternative navigation system (equal in fuction to what has already been constructed) that only involves the MouseOff and MouseOver layers (substantially simplifying web page creation).
