| Using Layers Layers Layers are a relatively recent addition to layout tools. They allow you to build versatile dynamic web pages Layers can be stacked on top of each other as well as having other layers nested within themselves. Layers can be linked to interactivity and a layer page can be converted to tables. Layers are treated patchily by browsers. If a user has an old browser the layers may not behave properly as intended. |
| Using Tables Tables are the most common way at present of laying out web pages. Most web designers overlay tables onto each other (nesting ) to achieve maximum flexibility of layout Gaps are commonly left between tables for white space. Using multiple tables gives ease of formatting as each table can have its own background/ border colours without bothering with cell borders |

| Using Frames Frame will be used for pages where there is a static element that needs to be present wherever the user goes on the site. This may be company masthead/logo at the top, contact information at the bottom or for a menu system to direct to other parts of the site. Increasingly the main content frame may
use overlays by tables for flexibility |
