To add a background color or image to a layer
1 Select the layer.
2 In the Background tab of the Layer Inspector, do one of the following:
• To add an image, select Image, and then select an image file.
You can set the contents of a layer to be invisible when the page is first loaded into the browser. (See “Hiding and
showing layers in a browser” on page 259.)
• To add a color, select Color, click the color field, and select a color from the Color or Swatches palette.
Note: Avoid using a background image alone in a layer. In Netscape browsers, background images or color may not
display unless there are other objects or text in the box as well. To work around this problem, you can add a transparent
GIF image to the empty box.
