Layers would look like:
<div id="navigation" class="nav">
Links here
</div>
<div id="content" class="content">
Body of site goes here
</div>

In style sheet or head section of page
.nav{width: 150px; background-color: green; float: left;}
.content{background-color: white;}

This would give you a page that has 2 columns with the left one 150px wide
and a green background. The other column would auto size to content/browser
and have a white background. I've used something similar on my son's Cub
Scout Pack's website (volunteered by my husband to take over the site after
the previous pack webmaster's son moved up to Boy Scouts). You can see that
site at http://bsa197hou.org/cubs/index.htm.

BTW, using <div> for layers is the standard but NN 4.x has trouble
displaying some layer positioning properly for an example of that take a
look at my homepage at http://wiserways.com in NN 4.x and in any version 5+
browser IE, NN 6.x or 7, Mozilla or Opera and you'll see how it should
render.

If I have asked this question before, please forgive me. My memory's been
acting up lately.

The question: what is the advantage of designing in layers? Does this only
work with CSS?

Really dumb question: this *does* come out as HTML, right? (Well, it kind of
has to, Sherry...)

I'm having a really hard time wrapping my mind around the notion of what
layers would look like in HTML. I *could* just go look (would need a URL
from
someone) but fear a fainting spell at the sight of what's under the hood.
