Moving photos

[Lee David]

What I want to have happen is a photo float above the page moving across it.
I tried to set the z-index to "0" and to "10" to force the floating, but
neither worked.

To do the moving, I understand I have to use different methods depending on
IE (pixelLeft and pixelTop) or NS (moveTo). I'm hoping for the rare Opera,
etc user that one or the other will work. I think I recall that you have to
use different properties to determine the window width and height, but it's
been too long ago for me to remember clearly.

I will have a timer to move the object and it will disappear when it reaches
the end of the page. I might even have a chase between two pictures so I'd
need multiple variables.

Any ideas?

TIA, Lee

IE vs. NS was years ago, things have changed. Take a look here:

....and view source to get an idea what's involved. It's a bit more
involved than simply knowing the appropriate property names (not trying
to discourage you).
