I have been trying to insert a layer in dreamweaver but all I get when I do is a dotted box stretching across the entire workspace on the top which looks a lot like a table not a layer at all (also does not have layer handle). Further, no layer is added on the Layer palette and when I select the dotted box in the workspace , only 2 attributes are displayed in the Properties viz DIV ID and Class. Can someone please tell me how to solve this . I really don't know what to do.I have tried re-installing Dreamweaver twice and no difference.Please do let me know how I can get a proper layer.

Go to Insert ---> Layout Objects then select Layer. It should work. OR go to Code view and verify the type of object it is. Or show the code you get.

Thanks Javier for your reply.
I get the same however i insert the table (if i use the button in the Insert/ Layout or Insert-->Layout objects-->Layer)
The code i get is
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#Layer1 {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
height:100px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
layer-background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:1px none #000000;
z-index:1;
}
-->
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) { //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape"
&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
//-->
</script>
Again as I said before I don't get a layer added to the Layers palette or any properties other than DIV ID and Class!!! Help please
