Building Websites with Layers

Question

I have had many problems in building websites with layers,in
particular with Template Changes , I take it that Tables are a more
reliable and better method then using Layers , my concern are that
Tables from what I can see are not as easy to position and when I
go into Layout mode and Try adding table cells I cannot put a Table
cell at the Top of the screen , there is allways a small gap that
leaves a White bar at the top of my website.
So what are the Best Methods .?. Use Frames to dive up your
page then use tables for the majority of the content with the
occasional layer.?.

These two are not related. Poor development methods will
break in new and
confusing ways at the drop of a pin, with no causal
relationship between the
two.

Tables are not more reliable, and they are sometimes a better
way of doing
certain layout requirements. Layers are a poor method to use
for layer
period.
> So what are the Best Methods
Learn HTML and learn tables and learn CSS. There are no magic
wands here.
You are stuck in this 'layers/frames/tables' mentality. Leave
that at the
door.
