how do I get this ilayer to work?

[Guest_imported]

I currently use a frame to contain html, the code for my frame is :

<IFRAME name=myCanvas width = 585 height= 275 scrolling=no marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 src=&quot;background.htm&quot;>
</IFRAME>

The iframes only work in IE and netscape 6, so I wanted a way to have iframes in Netscape 4+ so I used ilayers and replaced my iframe code(above) with this:

<ILAYER name=myCanvas width = 585 height= 275 src=&quot;family.htm&quot;>
</ILAYER>

Now the problem is that only the family.htm gets displayed on the screen , without any of the main document showing also none of the links on inside the ilayer are selectable. When I take the attribute src=&quot;family.htm&quot; out of the tag I get all of the main document without the family.htm showing. I'm really stuck on why I can't get this to work properly like it does with the iframe.

Appreciate any help.

I think ilayers are gonna be ditched in Netscape 6, ilayers only work in NS 4.6+, most people use IE anyway so you will not lose many vistors, sorry I know its not much help.
