Setting the Layers Preferences dialog box options

The purpose of this dialog box is to set Layers preferences.

To complete the Layers Preferences dialog box:

1. Specify any of the following options:

   Visibility determines whether layers are visible by default.

   The options are default, inherit, visible, and hidden. For more information about those options, see Setting layer properties.

   Width and Height specify a default width and height (in pixels) for layers you create using Insert > Layer.

   Background Color specifies a default background color.

   Select a color from the color picker.

   Background Image specifies a default background image.

   Click Browse to locate the image file on your computer.

   Nesting: Nest when Created Within a Layer specifies whether a layer that you draw starting from a point within the boundaries of an existing layer should be a nested layer. Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) to temporarily change this setting while you’re drawing a layer.

   Netscape 4 Compatibility: Add Resize Fix When Inserting a Layer inserts JavaScript code in the head content of the document to fix a known problem in Netscape 4 browsers that causes layers to lose their positioning coordinates when a visitor resizes a browser window.

   The JavaScript forces the page to reload each time the browser window is resized, re-assigning the layers to the correct position. You can also add or remove the JavaScript code manually, by selecting Commands > Add/Remove Netscape Resize Fix.

2. Click OK.
