Layers give you significantly more control over the placement of text and pictures than tables do. While you are working, you can move layers around, trying different things, and get the page to look exactly the way you want.

Each layer can have a different background color, and can contain text and images (including rollover images).

Hi There

 

Assignment 9 Layers

Later we will learn how to make layers do cool stuff, like appear and disappear, move around, ant other things. For now, we're going to stick to using layers to do layout.

Assignment:

Make a page with text and pictures in layers. (At least 3 layers!)Move the layers around to achieve a cool layout. Give some layers different background colors. Use the Window ->Layers menu to see how you can hide and show layers. Email me what you need to do to hide a layer.

Name the page layers.html - include a link from your home page.

To do more:

Play with the Modify->Convert... menu items.

Use them to save a version of layers.html as layerstotables.html. Why would you want to do this? Email me the answer
