About GoLive layers
You can use layers to divide your page into rectangles that can be formatted and positioned individually. Layers can
contain any HTML element that a page can contain—such as an image or simple HTML text with formatting. You
use the Layer tool and the Layers palette to add and manage multiple layers on the page.
You can import Photoshop layers as GoLive layers. See "Importing layered Photoshop images" on page 377.
GoLive layers are DHTML layers, which you can overlap, hide and show, and animate on a page. For example, layers
are commonly used with the Show/Hide action to make them appear and disappear at the trigger of the mouse.
Layers can contain background images or color, and they can inherit properties from the page's cascading style sheet
(see "About cascading stylesheets" on page 318). They can be positioned precisely, because they are implemented
using the DIV element. The DIV element, formatted with a CSS ID style for the width, visibility, and absolute
position of the layer, instructs the browser to create a subdivision that is not part of the normal flow of HTML within
the page.
Note: To display properly, layers require web browser versions 4.0 or later. To see what a layer would look like in a web
browser that does not support cascading style sheets, turn off CSS support in the browser's preferences.
