Hi I recently designed a page which featured:
A hidden layer (containing a flash movie), with relative position and showed when you click on an image (using layer genie). In ie on pc works fine but when it comes to ie on a Mac it is just a terrible mess, I can't get the layer to hide, it does not possition very well and when it shows it is impossible to have this nice fading effect, as you say that it is fully Mac Compatible I think I'm doing something wrong...Any help?

Layer Genie needs the layer to be absolute positioned, not relative. But maybe you mean you used the Layer Genie anchoring feature?
Please clarify and post an URL so that we can take a look.

Layer Genie is fully Mac compatible in the sense that it supports what the mainstream browsers on the Mac supports. Transitions like fading etc. however are a IE4+ feature on PC only. IE on the Mac simply does not support this. Sorry!

Ok, please can you take a look for me at the script?
www.heineken.es/directo/default80.asp
When you click on the banner at the left the one that reads "FibHeineken2003 el cartel" the layer should appear.

A quote from your page:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;a name="layer"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=" prueba2/enportada.gif" width="261" height="68"&gt;</font id=code></pre id=code>
And another one:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>onClick="dmxFLG1('fib',0,0,'',2,'layer',2,0,73,2,25,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)"</font id=code></pre id=code>
I have several comments on the above:

1. You're using a named anchor as a Layer Genie anchor. In itself there's nothing wrong with that, but you used the name "layer" for that named anchor. That's potentially dangerous, because the word "layer" could be a reserved word. Please choose a more descriptive name, like for example "anchorFIB".

2. In this case there is no need for the named anchor at all, as it's only function is to serve as an anchor for the Layer Genie layer. Right next to it however is an image that could do the same, but with better precision. Just give the IMG tag a unique NAME attribute and anchor the Layer Genie layer to that image.

Please make the above changes and let me know if that fixes the problem.

Ok, ok I've found it. It's the flash movie that crashes, it seems that you cannot put a flash movie on a hidden layer in IE for Mac, thanks for your help.
