Layers in Javascript
A layer is a section of a HTML-page. These section can be placed on a special position. There are several sections per page possible. Each section can be shown, hidden, moved or manipulated independent from the other sections. With layers you can make animations and dynamic pages.
Layers works Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.0 and up.
Example:
<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Layers</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <LAYER top=50 left=100> <FONT size=6 color="red">Layer 1</FONT> </LAYER> <LAYER top=56 left=150> <FONT size=6 color="aqua">Layer 2</FONT> </LAYER> <LAYER top=60 left=200> <FONT size=6 color="green">Layer 3</FONT> </LAYER> </BODY> </HTML>Layers and javascript
