Loading Pages Into Layers

in Genius Bar edited January 2014
I'm not sure if you can, but if you can I'm curious how you load pages into a layer like you would a frame. Is it possible?

    Ok let me try and reword. I have a layer over top of the main page. Because this table of contents bar contains a movie banner at the top I don't want it to have to be reloaded every time they go to a new page. So I was wondering if it's possible to do this without making a frame?

    If the user clicks to another page, you lose the previous page's layers and content. So using a layer won't work for you.



    Whats wrong with reloading the banner again? If it was loaded once it will come up quickly the second time because it has been cached.

    I guess that is true...I have to put that code into every page now! Well I guess I could use the include php whatever. Perhaps I'll do that.

    Yeah, use it as an include. Frames are so 1996

    Ok...



    http://mobocracy.no-ip.com/EXCTrack/main.php do the rollover buttons and movie play for you? My friends on PC's said they didn't, and the one mac in my house I tried didn't work either. I used golive to make it because I don't know how to embed movies with DreamWeaver. Any help would be appreciated. I put it in this thread because this is the code that I will be in the include code.



    It displays properly for me in every browser I tried by the way.

    I only tried it on a PC so far. The Quicktime movie plays in the upper left corner, the rollovers give me a javascript error when I put my mouse over them. So I can't click them to see the other pages.



    That was in IE on Windows 2003 Server.

    Thanks. Mount_My_Floppy helped me solve the problems over IM.



    http://mobocracy.no-ip.com/EXCTrack/index.php is the current page and hopefully will be added too. I have to make a new EXC glistening movie because that looks pixelated.



    Thanks though Will, you are always so helpful in web related questions

    You need to fix the color of the EXC background...you can see it's outline or it's edges.

    Yeah I'm not sure, why, it's bad compression I guess, I used the same hex number for color. Like I said I guess bad compression, I'll have to make a new one and hopefully that will fix it.
