    I am new and I have a problem. I create site with Dreamwever. I use some layers in my layout.The primary browser is IE and everything is ok there. but in Firefox those layers change their position. How can I prevent it?

    make sure you always have validated code
    see W3.org validator or firefox webdeveloper toolbar
    if all code fully validated incl CSS - then only smallest difference in display if any at all between IE and ffx

    W3 validator doesn't always help though.
    It's more of a cross browser compatibility issue in some cases.

    It is very strange but validator shows very many mistakes in the code despite the page was created with Dreamweaver.

    Creating a page in DW doesn't necessarily mean it will validate.
    Try creating it in FrongPage or even worse, in MS Word :)

    what clive said is valid for most tools out there with frontpage certainly being the worst of worst.

    the only professional tool to create cleanest possible output is Quanta Plus - but for Linux only.

    If using fully validated code - there might be a very few options less to use in web design but the cross platform/browser compatibility of validated code is nearly perfect with a few exceptions with known work arounds.

    I mean I don't write code manually (only some editing). The sofrware generates it. So Dreamwever can create an invalid code?

    you can leave using dreamviewer:p . using a cms for your site may be easier than using a program:)
