I am using an older version of Dreamweaver but I hope similar rules apply to my problem. I am creating pages that use a number of layers and for some reason when i come to move or adjust a layer it has linked itself to another layer or even two other layers. I move one layer, all three move. This seems to happen at random. I thought there would be a simple command to detach layers from each other but I have tried everything and I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Ivor,

 

What you're describing sounds very unusual. I've never seen this behaviour in Dreamweaver (MX2004 forward). As far as I know, you cannot "attach" layers together in typical HTML, unless you're using some fancy Javascript. Perhaps the layers that are moving are doing so because they relied upon the original div for their positioning?

 

For example if you had three divs in a row, all left floated, and you moved the first div elsewhere, the other two would also move. Is it that kind of movement you're referring to?

 

Also some more information would be useful - such as are you using design view or code view, and any relevant code you can include.
