I could not get v 1.1.1. to work properly. Layers are off the screen or not visible at all. If I copy the 1.0.5 script and replace the 1.1.1. in the JavaScipt section of my new document it works fine!So maybe you can help: where is the problem that makes v 1.0.5. work and blocks 1.1.1.?

Andi

Hello Andreas,
The PLP demo page at www.dmxzone.com/demo/plp/demo.htm works just fine with the version 1.1 scripts in every browser I've tested it with.
So it must be something in your page, but without seeing your code I have no clue what could be the problem.
Please point me to 2 URLs: one with the 1.05 scripts, and a copy of that one with the 1.1 scripts.
Regards,

Sorry for this delayed reply.
The problem has something to do with the fact that your test pages have no 'real' content. There are only absolute positioned DIV elements (layers) and since those are 'absolute positioned' they are taken out of the regular page flow.
Thus, the length of the page is 0 (zero) which somehow prevents the layer from positioning right in v1.1.
I'm still not sure why 1.05 doesn't seem to be bothered by that and 1.1 is, so I'm still looking into that.
Meanwhile, if you put some regular content on the page, the problem vanishes. And then you can just use 1.1.
You will hear from me again.

Found it!
Actually, somewhere between 1.05 and 1.1 (don't know when anymore) a new feature was added to the extension.
Originally, in some cases the floating layer caused a never ending scrollbar when the layer floated so far down the page that its bottom border came beneath the page content.
So in order to prevent that I made some code changes, and the extension now makes sure a floating layer does not extend the original document (= body) height/width.
But evidently that is causing its own problems now on a page without any real content, as in your test page.
I will see if I can fix that for you, but keep in mind that a page without any real content is a really awkward page. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
