</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle()
{
$("#Layer1").animate({width:"20px"},1000);

<body onload="toggle()">
<div id="Layer1"><img src="friend-line.jpg" width="243" height="380" /></div>
</body>
</html>
As the page loads, there is an animation, but soon enough, the dimensions of Layer 1 are restored. I'd like to know why this is happening.
The animation adds the CSS of overflow:hidden while it's going. When it stops, the overflow goes back to its previous state, so you should simply permanently add the overflow:hidden CSS to #Layer1
Additionally, I suggest that you use the jQuery doc ready functionality instead of the inline onload Javascript.
So your entire JS would be:
$(function() { // <== doc ready
    $("#Layer1").css("overflow","hidden").animate({width:"20px"},1000);
});
I'm not quite sure as to what you're trying to accomplish with your code, but you could also include the overflow:hidden in you CSS for #Layer1:
#Layer1 {
 position:absolute;
 width:200px;
 height:115px;
 z-index:1;
 left: 445px;
 top: 64px;
 overflow:hidden;
}
With the above CSS you can use your original code, just wrap it in a doc ready and remove the onload from the HTML:
$(function() { // <== doc ready
    $("#Layer1").animate({width:"20px"},1000);
});
Note that the width of the div is smaller than the width of the image. Not sure if this is on purpose.
its possibly because you are changing the div width and not the width of the img
also is best practice to use $(document).ready() on the script than using onload on body
if you do not wish to change the image size but just hide the reset of the contents on your css u can add overflow: hidden;
otherwise i cn't see why there should a problem.
