Images contained in layers

I am trying to place an image inside a layer but not as a background. I want to animate the image by moving it left and making it smaller at the same time. Can this be done using a layer. I was hoping that by reducing the size of the layer the image would also be reduced. Is this possible.

Start off by putting an image within a layer. This will not set it as a background.

code:

<div id="layer1"
style="position:absolute;left:200;top:50;"><img
src=""
name="image1"
width="" height=""></div>[/code]

You can't make an image smaller by decreasing the layer size. You will have to change the images width & height properties.

code:if (document.all)
document["image1"].width = ?

if (document.layers)
document.layers["layer1"].document["image1"].width = ?[/code]

If you need some more DHTML help just post here.
