Layers Problem

[blamebob23]

Hi everyone. I just made a site and I used layers to contain the information
from each link on the nav. However when I change the browser size, the layers
stay still whilst the rest of the site moves around. I was wondering whats the
best solution to either make the site stay in one place or to lock the layers
so they stay with the information behind them... here's the link to the site;

The problem appears to be that you've got your layers positioned absolutely,
and not within the rest of the site's container (which I hope is a layer as
well, but I didn't check).

If you move the layers inside your main container and fiddle around with the
positionings to get them back in the right place it should work.

Im a little bit new to Dreamweaver and I'm not overly sure what you mean by
containers. Sorry. Would it help if I posted the code up?

I'm still having trouble with this. I'm not sure what you mean by 'container'
and the rest of the site isnt in a layer. I just want the layers connected to
the nav links to stay positioned with the rest of the site as you increase or
decrease the browser window. They layers stay stuck to the browsers movement
and the site moves. I'm sorry I'm dense over this, I'm new to dreamweaver and
need baby-walk throughs... if anyone fancies adding me to msn and helping me
out my email is:

in other words copy your DIV code right below where you want the layer to
appear (code wise..) for instance, if you have a table.... and you want the
layer to be right under the table, go into the HTML editor, cut all the DIV
(layer) code from where it is, find the table code, and go paste that code
underneath the table.. then change the property "positioning" in the DIV code
from absolute to "relative"

That should fix your problem.
