Dreamweaver "layers" WAS RE: WEB4LIB digest 2880

[Karen G. Schneider]

Agreed (re unfortunate use of the term).  From the Dreamweaver
documentation:

"When you place a layer in a document, Dreamweaver inserts the HTML tag
for that layer in your code. You can choose to have Dreamweaver use
either the div tag or the span tag for your layers. By default,
Dreamweaver creates layers using the div tag."

"Note: There are two other tags that you can use to create layers: layer
and ilayer. However, these tags are supported only in Netscape Navigator
4; Internet Explorer does not support these tags, and Netscape
discontinued support for these tags in later browsers. Dreamweaver
recognizes the layer and ilayer tags, but does not create layers using
these tags." 

I haven't touched layers.
