Layout

Dreamweaver provides two main ways for us to layout the text, images, and content of a website:

Tables

A table consists of one or more rows; each row consists of one or more cells. Although columns aren't usually explicitly specified in HTML code, Dreamweaver enables you to manipulate columns as well as rows and cells.

Layers

A layer is an HTML page element--specifically, a div tag--that has an absolute position assigned to it. You can place layers in front of and behind each other, hide some layers while showing others, and move layers across the screen. You can place a background image in one layer, then place a second layer, containing text with a transparent background, in front of that.
