Dreamweaver PLEASE

KellySimmons · KellySimmons

ok, I am sort of new to the design world. I have designed plenty of sites using
dreamweaver an photoshop on my computer and uploading them to a sepeate host. I
have purchased a server and am trying out remotely designing the site on the
server itself. My problem is....I design the image in photoshop, put the image
in the route folder, put a layer onto the page in Dreamweaver and insert the
image. The image only shows as an outline on dreamweaver I can see the
background through the image but when I preview in browser it looks fine. I
have been through the view options and preferences and see nothing to make the
image show in full. Please HELP.
Thanks,
Kelly

Why?

Show me the page's code, please.

By the way, you will get better exposure for such questions on the DW
general discussion forum.

Why? Because I typically work from home, and am just trying to help out with
the design, (typically the finances are my job) without having to drive to the
office. Doesn't seem to be helping out much huh? :)
The code is as follows: Thanks for your time and help.

I just wouldn't do it this way *AT ALL*.

I'd define a site with local on your hard drive, and remote on the server,
and GET all the files. Then edit locally, and PUT when done.

Which DW are you using?

You know the downsides of using Layers as an exclusive layout method, right?

I really don't know much about the design end at all. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I currently have DW 8, and do not know the downsides of exclusive layer layout, nor another way to do it.

elliot@carto · elliot@carto

If I'm understanding correctly, what you want to do is save a website layout as
a single image, then upload it as a single page with no links or anything - say
for design approval or something like that??

I do a similar type of thing - Easiest way to do it is probably to use a table
layout instead of layers. Layers can be a bit tricky. Set up your Local and
Testing servers as Murray has mentioned above.

If you need help with the finer points email me at [email]danny@whiteart.com.au[/email] and I
can help you out via email.

You can see one of the primary downsides in action here -

[url]http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layer-overlap.asp[/url]

Read the directions and try them. See what happens? By the way, that page
itself is done without layers and without tables. It is the same as other
pages on my site. Try the same thing on them. See how (with minor
exceptions) they resist the overlapping of content? That would be because I
did not use layers for layout.

As mentioned (and as with any tool), layers require some experience and some
knowledge before you can use them "safely". And the more you know about
layers, and about CSS in general, the less you will find you need to use
them.

For now, stick with tables until you feel very comfortable with HTML. While
acquiring this facility, study CSS. You'll get there.
