Dreamweaver MX question:
I'm working with layers, which I've never done before and would not normally do. I'm teaching a set curriculum to kids at a technology camp, so its inevitable.

The lesson involves using a layer to animate an element on their website. I'm trying to do this myself so I can help them do it, but it's not working. I'm using a transparant gif. The timeline appears as it should, moves as it should when I drag the playhead, but the gif does not move when I preview in IE 6.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

I have a standalone system (WinXPPro) which has MSDE. This system will never have full-blown SQL Server, and will probably never have SQL Server 2005 Express edition (at least not until the other software running on it is certified for SQL2k5 Express)

I'm interested in having some simple tool to serve the same role as Enterprise Manager and Query Analyser do in SQL2k (queries, backups, database mods, etc). I'm thinking of downloading the SQL Server 2005 Express Manager, and using it for some simple database management tasks.

Has anyone downloaded the April CTP (Community Technology Preview) version of this tool? If so, how do you like it? Does it work well with MSDE? If I want to avoid mixing versions and avoid using unreleased and unsupported tools, is there an equivalent tool for MSDE 2000?

This is a play on the whole IT vs Marketing Department thing that many of us are familiar with...

A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?"

The man below says: "yes you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this field."

"You must work in Information Technology" says the balloonist.

"I do" replies the man. "How did you know."

"Well" says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone."

The man below says "you must work in business."

"I do" replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well", says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault."
