où se trouve "layer" : "calque" ?

[magicm95743615]

bonjour
je suis sous windows 11
j'utilise Drmwver v 21.3
je ne sais pas où se trouve le menu "layer" : "calque" ?
comme vous pouvez le voir sur la capture écran il n'y a pas de menu Layer !
avant quand j'utilisais la version 4, j'utilisais cette option mais depuis je crois qu'il on changé son nom !

Dreamweaver 4 is 20 years old!

Layers (absolutely positioned elements) were removed from Dreamweaver about 10 years ago.  They were never conducive to good web design and their use caused far more usability problems than they solved.

Fast forward to 2023, websites must be responsive to work on ALL devices -- mobile, tablet, laptop, desktop, television and all points in  between.  You can't achieve that with Layers and absolute positioning.  Sorry.

To jump start your web projects, go to File > New > Starter Templates > Bootstrap Templates. 

Select a layout and hit the CREATE button.

Hope that helps. Post back if you have more questions.

hi Nancy
i found this video tutoriel which explains how to make the layer "responsive".
it's made with Dreamwaever (maybe the CS3 version).

do you have an idea on how to achieve this result other than by using layers?
THANKS.

If the current site was built with CS3 or CS4, a site rebuild is long overdue. 

Here's the fundamental problem with Layers (AP Divs).  They are absolutely positioned which removes them from the normal document flow.  That means they're disconnected from all surrounding elements.  If you move one thing, you must move them all.  This is an inefficient and worrisome workflow— even for long-time experts who know what they're doing.  

Sorry, I can't recommend using Layers for responsive web design.  Adobe saw fit to remove that feature for good reasons.

Bootstrap will allow you to reach a wider audience on mobile & tablet devices without painting yourself into a corner. And if you already understand HTML & CSS code, you can learn to use Bootstrap's 12-box grid system in a weekend.

Bonjour @magicm95743615 ,

En fait à l’époque DW avait baptisé ce menu Layers en relation avec la manière dont Netscape faisait appel aux éléments du DOM. Pour infos, Internet Explorer employait All :

• https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/pure-javascript/0672315475/0672315475_ch07lev2sec143.html
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15854504/are-document-all-and-document-layers-obsolete-now#15854...

Ensuite DW avait surtout rendu confus un certain amalgame entre Layers et AP, qui consistait à positionner, et à dimensionner, de manière absolue les éléments du DOM.

Donc la question , afin de pouvoir mieux vous orienter dans la réponse, serait : « que souhaitez-vous réaliser en utilisant Layer ? »
