Any of you guy knows a good site where I can learn how to use the <LAYER> tags. And other Netscape specific tags.

I hava a site made in ASP and looking at my log I see that a lot a visitors have Netscape only. My site currently don't work right on Netscape because of the <DIV> tags. I'd appreciate soem suggestion on how to convert <DIV> to <LAYER>

n.b. I know how to detect the browser type so this is not a problem.

I'd appreciate some helps and some useful links,
Thanx s-)

Thank you tsdragon, I found something at netscape, but there is no straight example of how you can change between <layer> and <div> taking into accont the browser type.

Can you give some short example(a movement example would be very fit)

Thank you in advance, s-)

Sorry, I don't program for NS at all, except to try to make things which look great in IE 5.5 look halfway decent in NS 4.7, so I can't help there. But I know there are others here who can. Tracy Dryden

What a site! Nice design.
You shouldn't have problem to program on DIV tag to work on NS browser as well. I used to use layer a lot. I find it annoying afterward as it only works on NS4.x. Not even NS6.x.
I wouldn't recommend you to look too much into layer. It's certainly outdated.

Thank you all, now I have references to what I need to get started into NN specific programming (not that I love it very much).

I'm glad you liked the site TehnicalAnalysis (I worked for 4 weeks on that).

Good luck everybody, s-)

To heck with tables! Using layers (<DIV></DIV> tags) is the most future-proof method of designing websites. However, using div's has a very adverse affect on NS4.7, so you need to keep NS4.7 (and other non-compatible browsers) from reading in the CSS positioning of your layers. This means that your design won't be visible to NS4.7 users but the content would still be accessible.

For an example, see my tableless site:

http://www.sensibilium.com

(visit using IE5 and then visit again using NS4.7 and you'll see the difference).

I utilise two seperate CSS files, the first one contains no positional elements and is linked in the normal manner (located at css/standard.css), and another CSS file for positioning and design (css/realstyles.css), whihc is imported using the @import command (NS4.7 doesn't support this and thereby ignores it).

A perfect article about tableless sites is available at

http://www.alistapart.com,

it's called &quot;To Hell With Bad Browsers&quot; (Issue 99 I think), and is well worth reading the entire thing.

Hope this helps... Ahdkaw

PLEASE, please please please please PLEASE don't use Netscape-proprietary tags... ESPECIALLY the &lt;LAYER&gt; tag. The layer tag is supported in only one version (version 4) of only one browser (Netscape). It's such a bad tag that they refuse to support it in future versions, and nobody else will support it either.<br><br>I second anybody who says to use div tags... avoid the LAYER tag like the plague, and the web will be a better place. <p>Liam Morley<br><A HREF="mailto:"></A><br>&quot;light the deep, and bring silence to the world.<br>light the world, and bring depth to the silence.&quot;

Ehat do you mean that the layer tag is not supported by NN6.0. (I don't have this one)
If so, can you look at my site with NN6.0. What problems ther are or there can be?

Where can I find NN6.0 free? (or is not free?)

Thanx s-)

sorry, Netscape 6 does NOT support the LAYER tag, and for good reason. Now don't ask me why, or else you want me to get all sorts of upset about the seperation of interactive programming and markup language.<br><br>In Netscape 6, nothing happens at all when you move the mouse over the yellow bar.<br><br>Netscape 6 is available for free at Netscape's website.<br><A HREF="
