I cannot see the layers

Ducu · Feb 16, 2004

I am trying a very simple example to learn how to work with layers.
My browser is a IE 6.0 under WinXP HE.

Ex:

<html>
<head>
<title>Layers</title>
</head>
<body>
<layer top="100" left="100" width="200" bgcolor="red">
<!-
My LAYER! My LAYER! My LAYER! My LAYER!
->
<nolayer>
This part will be put on screen by old browsers.
</nolayer>
</layer>
</body>
</html>

The only part that appears on my browser is the one for old browsers.
I tried to create web pages including layers with Dreamweaver 4 and the layers did not appear on my browser.

Can you give me a hint what could be wrong ?

Thank you in advance,
Ducu Nagy

layers are only supported by NN4.

use div or span for MSIE

<layer><div></div></layer>

You can position the div similarly with

<div style="top:100px;left:100px;height:100px;width:100px;baground-color:red;position:absolute;">

DIV tags cannot do everything that the LAYER/ILAYER tags do but close enough.

DIV/SPAN are also supported by NN4 but there may be complications.

P.S. layers rock, shame they never became an industry standard
