Adding layers to the page

1. To add a single layer to the page, you use the Objects palette or a context menu. When you add a layer to the page, GoLive inserts a small yellow marker, which stays at the original point of insertion after you move the layer.

2. It's important to name your layers. GoLive displays the names of layers in the Layer palette and in lists to choose from when you're applying actions or animating them. The names are also used for referring to layers in Java Script. Using unique names makes layers easier to identify than the default names layer1, layer2, layer3, and so on.

3. You use the Layers palette to add and manage multiple layers on the page. To display the palette, choose Window > Layers.

To add a layer to the page:

1. Do one of the following:

2. Drag the Layer icon from the Basic set in the Objects palette onto the page. If it's in the middle of text, GoLive inserts a new paragraph to split the text and places the DIV element between them.
3. Click in the page to place the insertion point, and then click the Create New Layer button in the Layers palette.
4. Right-click in the page and choose Insert Object > Basic > Layer from the context menu.

To name a layer:

1. Select the layer in the page or in the list in the Layers palette.

2. Enter a new name either in the Layers palette or in the Name text box in the Layer Inspector. (Spaces and names that begin with a number are not allowed.)
