DIV Tags in Dreamweaver MX
|
|

| Hello,
I'm trying to learn how to use DIV tags in Dreamweaver MX. I'm not really
familiar with them. I'd like to learn how to layout a page using DIV tags
rather then a table. Any good tutorials around for this?
Also are there any advantages to using DIV tags rather then Tables or vice
versa?
Any help is appreciated.

| Hi foo
In order to learn <DIV> layout you need to also learn CSS as it governs the
layout of the <DIV>'s.
There are some really good tutorials in google, search "tableless layout" or
something like that and you'll find loads. I'm sure others can come up with
some more.
<DIV>'s make it easier for layout manipulation and IS the way now to build
websites.
Good luck

| Good morning Foo
This is my first ever posting to a forum. Hope it's of some help. I'm only
starting on the web development thing and am always on the lookout for good
tutorial sites. One of my favourite is www.w3schools.com. It's quite
comprehensive and it's all free.
Cheers

| In DW, DIV tags are "known as" layers. On the Common tab at the top, the
button immediately to the right of the Insert Table button is the Draw Layer
button, which does exactly what it says. After you draw a layer, if you look
at the bottom tag inspector you'll see <DIV#Layer1> (where Layer1 is whatever
you named that layer).
So basically Layers in DW are the DIV tags. Hope this helps.

Nah..not really:
the DW lingo "layers" means *absolutely* positioned divs.
But they also comes as relatively positioned, or neither....

Not exactly. Not all <div> tags are layers. The Dreamweaver term "layer"
applies only to specific absolutely positioned <div>'s. The more generic
<div> tag can be used for much more.
