 Using layers to design a web page
Using layers to design a web page in Dreamweaver 4
Using layers to design web pages in Macromedia Dreamweaver gives you flexibility and control over the placement of objects on a page. Any object that can be added to a web page (text, graphic, table, and so on) can be added directly to a layer. You can then drag the layer and its content to position it in the desired location.
Layers work in version 4 and later browsers. If you are designing pages for viewers using earlier version browsers and want to use layers to lay out your page design, see Converting between tables and layers for Dreamweaver 3 (and why you should care).
For detailed information about using layers, see the Using Dreamweaver 4 manual or Dreamweaver 4 Help. Visit the Dreamweaver Documentation page for printable versions of Dreamweaver 4 documentation.

| Using Dreamweaver 3 to create a layer slideshow
You've probably seen sites where you can look through several images or pages of text without actually leaving the page. This effect is created by using layers and JavaScript. If you don't know any JavaScript, don't despair, because you can create a layer slideshow in Dreamweaver without looking at any code.
The trick behind creating a layer slideshow without coding is to put your layers in a timeline. You stop the timeline after each image changes and start it again to advance to the next image.

| Animating layers in a Dreamweaver 4 timeline
Many web designers add visually stimulating animation to a web page to catch the visitor's eye. Programming animation in code requires knowledge of Dynamic HTML (DHTML) and JavaScript, but you can create web page animation directly in Macromedia Dreamweaver without having to write one line of code. You simply add a layer to a timeline, define its animation path, and let Dreamweaver write the code for you.
You can use a Dreamweaver timeline to animate any object you insert in a layer—an image, text, table, form, and so on. You can then move, resize, and affect the visibility of the layer across a time continuum. If you aren't already familiar with using layers, see the Using layers to design a web page article before reading this one.

| As you may have guessed from looking at Dreamweaver's sparse interface (and its professional-level price), Dreamweaver was created with professional Web designers and developers in mind. This doesn't mean that beginning Web designers can't use Dreamweaver—it just means that you may need a little practice with the interface before you begin.
