Hi,

I am trying to make a website without using tables. But the only way I know of
is css. So I was wondering, does anyone know of a website that shows step by
step on how to make a website with using css? If there is other things I would
love to know.

Also, do not know a lot about layers but is layers consider as css? If so how
can you please give me websites that shows how to use it?

Thank you very much.

Layers is just MM way of describing an inline CSS Div. By this we mean that
all of the positioning information is contained in the DIV tag.

For guiideance have a look at the MM Site in the DW Devnet section under CSS
as there are a couple of tuts there.

If practical and straightforward CSS is your goal, this tutorial should
be a perfect starting point:

Okay those are really good suggestions and I did that tutorials.

I just wanted to know how these people on this website
(http://csszengarden.com)The one that I specifacally talking about is this
website that is in css zen garden
(http://csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/121/121.css&page=0)
Do all of these different things?
Is there a specific way on how to start. Like the graphics and the box around
the text. Also how the website looks like it pops out on you instead of flat.
How can I find tutorials that shows that kind of stuff?

Thanks

Download the source code and the CSS and analyze it. If that is beyond
your current skill level, perhaps you might benefit from one of our CSS
FastPacks, which provide a thorough User Guide. This would be our latest
release:

http://www.projectseven.com/products/fastpacks/maxwell/

Or you can anayze this free example:
http://www.projectseven.com/csslab/testing/corners1/

Or you can view a series of examples here:

No, that sounds ok. Bit weird how it isn't just an easy option. Surley lots of people want to do what I'm doing? Anyhow the java script sounds the best option. Cheers:beer;

A layer will not just center unless you make it do so. Without some action
on your part, it will stay stuck at the coordinates you specified when you
originally placed it on the page in Dreamweaver.

There are really three ways I know of to
make the page and its layers move together.

1. Use dynamic javascript to reposition the layers based on some other
content that is centering. This is fairly simple to do, using a free
extension for DW (called SnapLayer) from Project Seven,
http://www.projectseven.com/

2. Make your page be contained in a centering table, put your layer into
that table, change the layer from absolute to relative positioning, and then
reposition it as needed. You will have to do this repositioning by editing
the code, however, not by dragging the layer on the screen.

3. Use CSS positioning to wrap the entire page in a division, including the
layer, and then center that division. Now everything will migrate within
the browser viewport as a unit.

Did I lose you?

Hey, I didn't mean it was hard, just though it would be an option in dreamweaver so the user doesn't have to code it. Cheers;)
