threep laughs, and says:
"search thru the archives (all forums) for 'dreamweaver'.
you may deduce that it is not a coders tool, and perhaps, not that well liked.
as such, i cannot give you much advice, except either to keep using dreamweaver, and stay within its bounds, or free yourself from the shackles of a html generator and learn to write your own code.
if you choose the latter, im happy to help you get your brain around the DOM, and how to toggle the visibilty of objects."

3rd Person,
I write my own HTML all the time I am just not familiar of your term of "code" I can't write Javascript if that is what you meant ,but I find myself constantly going into the HTML code within dreamweaver and editing it by hand all the time instead of using dreamweaver's shortcut button's. You can feal free to IM me through AOL at YoYoFREAKZ if you would like to help me "get my brain around the DOM, and how to toggle the visibilty of objects." so I can learn more.
Thanks

"Thanks, sorry if I ask so many question, I am just trying to learn."
Asking questions is how we learn.

1/2/3) I don't know much about layers. Are you using div's? that's the only think close to layers i use. I think layer's might

4)netscape likes to make things hard if you don't use any wysiwyg editors (like dreamweaver) it makes it easier to work with netscape. Have you tried using css? once you learn it, it makes your pages smaller, quicker to change, and better.

here is a good reference http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp

if you want a simple page to take apart look at this (my site) http://www.jakeb.f2s.com
and here is the style http://www.jakeb.f2s.com/style.css

everything i have should be ok to use anywhere, it even works with nn4.

learning javascript isn't too hard. goto http://www.gurusnetwork.com and they have a tutorial on javascript. if you have programmed any language before (not html) it can be really easy. Then check out the css tutorial. it shows you how to use javascript and css (a style sheet) together to make a menu bar.

Javascript helps because then you can make a menubar, and then just include it on all your pages. then you only have one file to update. not all of them. I did this on my site too. Good luck.

4. You must include something betwen <TD> tags in order for the background to show up (i.e. &amp;nbsp; or transparent gif).

JakeB,
I am using Div's sorry for the confusion.

Mr. Max,
Thanks
