Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the reason I was using <layer> was so that I could use its onMouseOver event handler which doesn't work (in Netscape anyway) with <div> or even <ilayer>. I discovered that <parentLayer> is the tag to make the layer relative but it doesn't allow the event handler either. I'm hoping Netscape & IE start supporting more of the same features! Thanks, Phyllis

Instead of using the <layer> or <ilayer> tag, use the <div> tag. It is easier to use so you dont have to re-write for IE.

You can position a layer relatively. Here is an example of a relatively positioned layer within an absolutely positioned layer:

<div style="position:absolute;left:50;top:50;">
<div style="position:relative;left:50;top:50;">Message</div>
</div>
