<style>

#Layer1 {
position:absolute;
width:466px;
height:631px;
z-index:1;
left: 380px;
top: 112px;
}

</style>

When you use Code: <div id="Layer1"> and using absulte positing for puting text or graphic inside the div it will be positioned 380 pixels over from the left and 112 pixels from the top. It will be 466 pixels wide and 631 pixels high. Then if you use an id that you have not specified, it will just land where it needs to and show the text the ? is explain how the text is just displayed and the results of that are.

If the < div id is not specified in the as mattend above and it lands where it needs to land is there a short cut key in dreamweaver that will give you where the spot is so that you can then adjust in design mode to the exact postion where you want it to be - get the cords and make the CSS absulte postioning and insert the cord in to the style sheet properties of course then in code mode.

I am a new bee to this and trying to find in design mode how to lay things out what tools i should be using and some what how to use them - like short cut keys for example and help full hints. THANKS
