I'm using Dreamweaver 3.0, and am trying to setup a webpage with multiple layers. One of the layers is for a Table Of Contents, which will contain links to all the different data on the site. Another layer is the Main window, where all the data would appear once a user clicked a link in the TOC.

I don't want to use frames to accomplish this.

I want a user to click a link in one layer, and have that link's URL display in the other. I have tried using a few different extensions in Dreamweaver to accomplish this, but have thusfar been unsuccessful. Can you assist me?

You can not do what you want without Frames.

What you would have to do without frames is have your layers on each and every page. Just like most everyone does, or have a cgi program that builds the pages on the fly. Like everyone else who has an active table of contents has.
