Newbie - Layer ID

[Guest]

Hello (again)

I have been attempting to create the majority of my pages with tables, but when I change the position of the table it is now creating a layer and asking for a ID. My questions are

1) What ID do I give these layers and how does this affect my page

2) Will the layers create difficulites (versus tables)

3) It is best to use tables whenever possible, correct

Thanks much!

Hi,
The two options are
1/ use layers for page layout and tables for their intended purpose - ie
displaying "tabular data"
or
2/ use tables for page layout and stay away from layers completely

It's not a good idea to mix the two. Using layers to layout a page isn't
difficult but can give issues unless you know what you're doing. You say
you're a newbie so to be honest I'd stay away from layers for a while and
learn to use tables.

The id of a layer is only relevant if you need to address the layer with
script.
