I made a bunch of arrays with information (such as layerName, xPosition, yPosition, content for each layer etc etc) and now I want Javascript to create the layers using the information from the arrays. How do I go about doing this?

The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

Basically I am stuck at the beginning. All I have is my arrays set up that have the layer name, the links, the position of each layer, etc., but I do not know how to begin to tell Javascript to create a layer using these arrays.

How are your arrays built? are they in numeric order?

You can use a FOR LOOP to cycle through the arrays, and print the layer HTML to the page.
