There is no such thing as a "layer" in either html or CSS. This is an
"invention" of Dreamweaver that should be avoided like the plague.What
Dreamweaver actually does in this mode is position your page elements
with the CSS absolute positioning rules, a well known way to produce a
brittle page that does not work correctly under different viewpoint
sizes and font enlargements, all of which you have no control over.

Can the Dreamweaver "layers" and learn to write valid and semantic html,
and then style it with CSS.

"WYSIWYG" editors on the web are a snare and a delusion because, unlike
paper, there is no "WYG" available. "What you get" will vary from
browser to browser and system to system and there is nothing whatsoever
you can do about that, except design with that fact in mind. The web is
not paper!
