Layers?

[incuzoxc]

Hi, I need to use layers to add content to my page, because the way it is setup there are too many images to use regular tables. WHat I need to know is how do I set up the layer, which i can do, but have it stay the same size, and not reposition when you resize the browser. It seems when I make them in dreamweaver, i first off ahve to set up the ayer far right of whee i want the atcual content to be, and when i resize the content moves to a complete different location. Also, how do I make a layer not overflow, where it will stay the same size not stretch when you add content? Thank you.
