<DIV ID=myDiv STYLE="position:absolute;top:10px;left:20px;
visibility:hidden">
Text and or Image(s)
</DIV>
The DIV functions as a 'container'. It can be initially formatted with standard CSS features. The developer, using JavaScript, can access and modify those features to create a user-responive website.
All CSS features and JavaScript functions used are cross-browser compliant, working equally well in Internet Explorer and Netscape, versions 4.0+, including 5.0 beta thru 5.0+.
A 'Dynamic Overlay' therefore is defined as: A cross-browser styled DIV dynamically controlled by JavaScript.
Below is a html file layout which presents the basic Dynamic Overlay concept:
function showDiv()
{
if(IE)document.all.myDiv.style.visibility=show
if(NS)document.myDiv.visibility=show
}
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html>
