Layers in Frontpage 2003

I have developed a web site for my sports club which caters for both
senior and junior members - www.bathnetballclub.co.uk

Because the information is different for senior and junior members I
originally had duplicated links for each section. I have since
enhanced the navigation panel on the left to have single headings with
a 'flyout menu' / 'cascading menu' where appropriate to choose the
senior or junior sections.

To do this I have used layers with interactive buttons and where I have
included these they appear to work ok.

I would like to add a lower / third layer to give further choice ie;

Fixtures (1st layer) / Senior Club (2nd layer) / 1st team, 2nd team etc
(3rd layer)
/ Junior Club (2nd layer) / U16's, U14's
etc (3rd layer)

I am able to create the layer, position it ok, add interactive buttons,
make the layer hidden, it's just that when the flyout menu appears when
the cursor hovers over the second layer button the menu does not
disappear when the cursor moves off the layer.

I have applied behaviours to both the layer and the 2nd level button
(eg Senior Club), in the same way as for the first and second layers
(which as I've said seem to work ok).

If anyone can help I'd be grateful as although I've achieved part of
what I set out to do, the navigation thru' the pages is rather
cumbersome in some places and I would like to improve it.

Many thanks

You are using onmouseout="FP_changePropRestore()" to hide the flyout
menu. Unfortunately that behaviour will only work with the last event that
sets a condition - the preceding event is lost.

With two flyouts the event sequence is:
onmouseover->showlayer1 - set changePropRestore to hide layer1
onmouseover->showlayer2 - set changePropRestore to hide layer2, overwriting
first setting.
onmouseout->hidelayer2 using changePropRestore.
onmouseout->all information lost so nothing happens.

See http://www.interlacken.com/winnt/tips/tipshow.aspx?tip=28
for a different technique that will work with multiple flyout menus.
