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.
Kari

There are no layers on that page. That would explain why you see none of
them in the Layers panel.

Just so you'll know, a 'layer' is an absolutely positioned page element.
You have none on your page. Probably that's why you can't select the
show/hide as well.

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 -

thanks for making it clear about the "show/hide layer".
