Will the Zoomify Viewers work in a CSS layer in a web page?
Yes, however, at the time of release of Zoomify Design v4 and Zoomify Flash v4 the support of Flash Player in a layer in the Safari browser on Macintosh was not deemed reliable enough for production use. Errors are possible regardless of the method used to create a layer and embed the Player in it. Zoomify Design and Zoomify Flash do include a web page example using a layer, along with information about the current limitations. The example uses the DOM method innerHTML in non-Internet Explorer browsers to create a layer at the time of use. This avoids having the Flash Player active in a layer if not in use. The example uses the Javascript method document.write to create a layer in Internet Explorer to overcome a problem with FlashVars support in innerHTML instantiated layers in that browser. In spite of these and other efforts, an approach that is compatible with all browsers has not yet been identified. As work on this issue continues, information will be posted on the Zoomify web sit
