Help me with Layers

[triniwebmaster]

Can some please help me out with layers?

I wanna sorta have a leyer inside a layer.
For example, my side nav is in a layer, my site txt is in another layer, my footer is also in another layer.

So there's basically 3-4 layers on my page but i would like all these layers to be placed into 1 layer so they can be confined to a certain area on the browser.

I hope that wasn't too confusin' and you guys know what i'm talkin' about and can provide some help.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums! When you say "layers", are you talking about the <div> tag? You can just nest all your div tags within a main container div, like this.

<div>

<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>

</div>

Are you coding by hand? If you're using a WYSIWYG Editor like Dreamweaver rather than writing your HTML by hand, you can find some knowledgeable help in our WYSIWYG Forum [webmasterworld.com].

Ah yes, I'm talkin' about the div tag.

I tried doin' that but I am runnin' into some problems.

I mostly use a WYSIWYG (DreamweaverMX2004), but sometimes I prefer to hard code it in.
