Greetings,
All my sites built with Layer Genie work fine in IE, but I just tried it in Firefox and am having problems.
Some websites show the layers fine, while others do not.
A website that works: www.summitmediagroup.com (hover over menu items)
A website that does not work: www.cheslow.ca (hovering over the icons/keys should show a layer)

I'd love to hear any ideas? Marja?

Hi Cary,

I think we've talked about the Cheslow problem before in another thread?

Anyway, at this point I don't know why Firefox does not show the layers. Maybe it's because of the image map?
Have you tried the combination Layer Genie / image map in a much simpler page to see if there is an issue then? Eg. one image map with only one hotspot and one layer to show?

I'll be on vacation for 3 weeks the day after tomorrow, so I won't be able to respond to any forum posts or emails then.

Hi Marja,
Yes we did speak of a similar issue on the Cheslow site before. You were a big help!
Unfortunatly, upon further testing I found the firefox problem.

I've done as you asked, and created a simplified version of the problem (with no image map) so you can hopefully help me out.
Go to: www.SummitMediaGroup.com
Login: testing
pass: testing

You will be directed to an example page. Everything works fine in IE, but not at all in Firefox.
Button one is an IE Fade-In effect.
Button two is a static show effect.

I understand that you are going on vacation tomorrow, so I'll be eagerly sitting by my email waiting for your reply.

Thanks so much Marja.

Quote from your page:

&lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="button.jpg" width="119" height="43" border="0" onmouseover="dmxFLG1('Layer1',0,1,'',2,'body',1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)" onmouseout="dmxFLG2(0)" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

You've applied the Layer Genie behavior to the onmouseover of the IMG tag, where it should be applied to the onmouseover of the A tag.
Are you sure Firefox support onmouseover events for image map hotspots?

I do not have any image maps in the test page I created for you.
In the example I've created, button two seems to work with the "static show" setting.
Button one, locks up the whole page. It was my understanding that if Firefox does not support the IE transitions, it would default to a static show effect.

Shouldn't I be able to apply a mouseover effect to any element I want such as an image.

Layer Genie should work just fine in Firefox.

The point is that you should have applied the behavior to the A tag instead of the IMG tag.
So
&lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="button.jpg" width="119" height="43" border="0" onmouseover="dmxFLG1('Layer1',0,1,'',2,'body',1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)" onmouseout="dmxFLG2(0)" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

should look like:
&lt;a href="#" onmouseover="dmxFLG1('Layer1',0,1,'',2,'body',1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)" onmouseout="dmxFLG2(0)" &gt;&lt;img src="button.jpg" width="119" height="43" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Not every HTML element support the onMouseOver etc. events. And browser support may differ.

I have made the change you sugested. Here are the results
Button one (fade-in) still shows nothing, and locks up the whole page.
Button two (static-show) works fine.
Button three (unfold) works fine.

I really need the fade in effect to work under IE, and was expecting it to default to a static show under Firefox. What do you think?

I see what you mean, and it shouldn't be like that.

But I'm sorry... I really don't have the time to look into this anymore. My working day ends now and I really have to start packing for my vacation.
It will have to wait until I return.

I will be back at work on Monday August 15th.

Sorry!

As long as you understand the problem, we can pick it up again upon your return from vacation.
Here in Toronto, it's about 11am so I've still got a full day ahead of me, so I'll keep troubleshooting.

Have a fantastic vacation my friend, and be safe.
I'll speak with you again soon. Best wishes Marja
