Well, I wasn't going to let it beat me... so I've been moithering at it between other things today.... and you'll just have to imagine the "EUREKA!" of a few minutes ago....With Netscape6.2, the lowest layer (ie the one in the background) is visible only if it's specified as visible in the beginning... with IE & NN4.7, the default position is *assumed* to be visible.
So with <div id="Layer6" style="position:absolute; width:738px; height:477px; z-index:2; left: 42px; top: 14px; visibility: visible"><img src="Assets/guitar-9b.gif" width="560" height="410">test layer </div> we now have [dah dah] http://www.mediation.co.uk/dev_snb/index1.html as opposed to http://www.mediation.co.uk/dev_snb/ which was <div id="Layer6" style="position:absolute; width:738px; height:477px; z-index:-1; left: 42px; top: 14px"><img src="Assets/guitar-9b.gif" width="560" height="410"></div> (if you're in NN6 you'll have 'now you see it, now you don't switching between the two...) Well, at least it's one I'm not likely to get wrong again... OK -now that's that solved... I might allow myself an early night! Thanks again, Cheryl!
