Generate CSS layers for web graphics
You can use layers in your Illustrator artwork to generate CSS layers in the resulting HTML file. A CSS layer is an
element that has an absolute position and can overlap with other elements in a web page. Exporting CSS layers is
useful when you plan to create dynamic effects in your web page.
The Layers palette in the Save For Web & Devices dialog box gives you control over which top-level layers in your
artwork are exported as CSS layers, and whether exported layers are visible or hidden.
1
Click the Layers tab in the Save For Web & Devices dialog box.
2
Select Export As CSS Layers.
3
Select a layer from the Layer pop-up menu, and set the following options as desired:
Visible
Creates a visible CSS layer in the resulting HTML file.
Hidden
Creates a hidden CSS layer in the resulting HTML file.
CSS layers are the same as GoLive layers. Using Adobe GoLive, you can animate a CSS layer and use built-in
JavaScript actions to create interactive effects.
