Layers in Dreamweaver

Hey all,

I'm building a site using DHTML and Dreamweaver as a base, and I'm currently
having trouble. I've created a layer to store text which sits over an image,
which looks fine in Dreamweaver, but when loaded onto the page the layer has
moved about 80 pixels to the left and about 20 pixels below what it should be!

My first thoughts were that this was due to positioning type, and therefore
tried fixed position, relative position etc, but this seemed to delete the
layer and send the image to the top of the page!

Here is the code for this layer,

<DIV id="Layer1" style="position:absolute; left:564px; top:495px; width:191px;
height:213px; z-index:1"><FONT color="#FFFFFF">sdfsldfjsldkfnsg</FONT></DIV>

If anyone has any ideas, you help would be very appreciated! Thank v much

Post a link to the page. I'll bet you have placed the layer into a table
cell.

Changing from absolute to relative can't help anything unless you really
understand what that does.
