Preserved Topic: dHTML sliders not working in nested tables with CSS?

Ok. I've tried a bunch of dHTML sliders. On a page by themselves, they all work in IE and NN. Cool.
But insert the same code (copy/paste) into a nested tables page (for positioning within existing content) that uses CSS, and they stop working. I've adjusted the DIV tags and such accordingly. But none seem to work.

Just curious as to if anyone else has seen this, or has some pointers?

hmmm. could you give an example?
maybe its cause tables are something very static?

Pugz,

This is a real doozy. I have been struggling with it recently but don't have much successful sample code to share yet. Once I figure it out, I will be happy to help but for now, I join you in calling for insight from our fellow coding friends.

Ok, here is the closest I've gotten so far: http://development.runningwolf.com/index.htm?/scroller2/new_index.htm
In IE, it works perfectly. In NN, it works, but it kills all the style info for the page.
If you look at the main template page, http://development.runningwolf.com/index.htm you see that the page looks fine. So using an SSI call to toss the scroller into the content area breaks something in NN, and I can't figure out what. Seems no matter which scroller I use, I end up with this problem.

A big Bozo button to anyone who may have a solution.

Hmm, I would say that it doesn't work in IE correctly, either. The scroller is positioned over the navigation menu (at least on my screen resolution).

[edit]
I see that you're using absolute positioning, so that's why scroller is over the navigation menu. If you intend to use absolute positioning, then there's no need to put the scroller in the table.

Okay. I'm kinda new in the DIV areas, especially with positioning. What is the alternative if I want to include it in the middle of the page? Should I use "RELATIVE"?

It works up to 800x600 right now, as I see it, you need to either make the scrolling div follow the "centering" of the page, or to settle with having the whole page to the far left.
(that's what I'd do) If you want to keep it centered you could either calculate innerwidth on every resize and place it correctly from that, or you could try relative positioning.
(I hav'nt tried anything else than placing it all to the left)

If you use relative positioning you should place the DIV's in the place in the code that you'd normally write the text, for example inside a table cell, then whatever values you use in the positioning attribute will be the distance from the upper left corner of that TD.
Remember though, the DIV will reserve space in the browser wether it is visible or not, don't know if that would matter in this case though.

As for the NS thing, I don't have a clue, but I've encountered it on a test page I made a while back.
