Converting layers to tables
Converting layers to tables
Instead of using tables or Layout mode to create your layout, some web designers prefer to work with layers. Dreamweaver enables you to create your layout using layers, then (if you want) convert them into tables. For example, you might need to convert your layers to tables if you need to support browsers before version 4.0.
NOTE |
|
You can’t convert layers to tables or tables to layers in a template document or in a document to which a template has been applied. Instead, create your layout in a non-template document and convert it before saving it as a template. |
You can convert back and forth between layers and tables to adjust the layout and optimize page design. You cannot convert a specific table or layer on a page; you must convert layers to tables and tables to layers for an entire page.
NOTE |
|
Converting from layers to tables may result in tables with a large number of empty cells. |
