Page within a page

[peebs]

Hi,
I am relatively new to FP so please bear with me.
I am creating a web site and have put my nav bar on a separate page called
"Menu.htm". On each page I have inserted a logo that stay in the bottom right
corner of the screen (using Dynamic Drive static logo script) which when
clicked opens up my Menu.htm page. So far so good!
What I want to do is to show Menu.htm in a cell on the current page adjacent
to the logo but that only opens when Menu.htm is accessed via the logo script.
I thought that I could use FP's included content/page linked to menu.htm but
this opens menu.htm permanantly without clicking on the logo. Ideally I would
like the menu.htm page to open only when the logo is ckicked and also to open
in a position adjacent to the logo. The idea being that the logo is always
visible in the bottom right corner of the screen irrispective of he scrolling
position and the menu.htm should be with it.
Any help or advice that anyone can give - in beginners English PLEASE -
would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

You would need to look into using CSS to hide/unhide a layer containing the menu.

Thanks for the quick response Thomas. Arn't there browser compatibility
problems with CSS? I don't know much about CSS, or how to use it but I
remember reading somewhere that they are not generally accepted by most
browsers.

Only problems are generally w/ older level 4 browsers
See dynamic drive for compatibility their scripts

Thanks Stefan.
I am still at a loss as to how to solve my initial problem. I got a book on
CSS but it doesn't mention hide/unhide so I'm stuck.
As an interim fix I am using the logo to open a separate page called "Menu"
which contains my nav bar. This works OK but it means an extra step every
time I to want to go to another page.
On another point - why is it that when I use position to place a layer it is
never in the correct place in the browser? I have to offset it to the right
in FP design/preview to get it right in the browser.
Many thanks,

Make sure you are looking under Layers
