ok, well i recently put together an image, by using a series of images
in layers, my intentions were to add content between images, i.e. a
white square, content, and a border on top, i was creating a jukebox, i
built the whole thing in a few minutes, not terribly difficult, i
previewed in firefox and everything looked fine, but upon sending it to
my employer running on internet explorer 6.0 to preview it, he found,
all that was visible was one layer, after doing some work, to try and
fix the problem i found that hiding one layer revealed the layer below,
ive tried changing the stacking order, as well as the parenting of
layers, nothing seems to help, please can anybody help me?

Layers are an ill-advised mechanism for positioning graphic elements. IIRC,
it was a Netscape invention that was never really supported in IE.

What's prompting layered graphics? Do you have an example?

Okay; I'm presuming you don't want to build this in Flash. One easy answer
is to slice the image up and then put it into a table. you would design the
slices such that the white areas (or enough for the text) would be in its
own slices. You might need to use nexted tables, but this is an area where
DW can help.

Note that tables aren't the nicest way to go as they clutter up the HTML
source and put more overhead in relative to the visible content you may wish
to have indexed by a search engine. However, in this case it seems as though
you're looking to provide a fairly interactive application as opposed to a
lot of readable content.

Note that when creating the tables, the border, cell spacing and padding
should be set to 0 to compress the table completely. The non-text cells will
contain the image pieces. The text areas will simply have a white background
specified (if your page background is a different color).
