invisible layers

Does anyone know how to do invisible layers? What I want to do is have an image in a cell with text in a layer underneath that's invisible. When you go to the text version, the image is stripped out and the layer with the text in comes forward?

The coding for stripping out images is already in place and if there's any white text the code changes it to black so there shouldn't be a problem with the layer.

Any help appreciated

sounds like you are simply trying to hide or change the visibility of the layer. Is that right or Have I got this completely wrong?!!!

This should help you out:

<head>
&lt;script language="javascript"&gt;
function JoCanningIsCool()
{
jocanning.style.visibility="visible"
}
&lt;/script&gt;
</head>

<body>

<img src="JoCanningImageSource" onmouseover="JoCanningIsCool()">

<div id="jocanning" style="visibility:hidden">YourText</div>
</body>

Shakespeare: onclick || !(onclick)

Simply add visibility=hidden to the object you're trying to hide.
