what are layers in web design?
I've noticed that some websites use layers... through dreamweaver as well.
--What are layers? What are they for? and why should anyone use them?

Layers can be done several ways, using javascript, using divs and using iframes. Divs and Js are the best supported. You can also use a sort of layer by using CSS to create table backgrounds.

But I'm wondering as well as he is, what exactly does a div do? What would you need a div for? And, is there an example I can see of them. I bought a copy of goLive awhile back and it had it in there, wasn't sure what it was for though.

Explanation of Div
example of div layers Click the demo link at the bottom. Basically Div just allows for positioning of various elements on a page. They can be overlapping or not. Support is pretty good in most newer browsers, much better than iframes. |
