In-Depth Information
<!-- Linked layers -->
<layer src="contents.html" left="20" top="20"
height="80%" width="80%">
</layer>
Compatibility
No standards support
Netscape 4, 4.5-4.8
Notes
• The functionality of the
layer
element is easily replicated using a
<div>
tag and
the CSS property
position:absolute
. In older Netscape browsers, using this
more appropriate approach did populate the JavaScript
document.layers
collection.
• Because this element is specific to Netscape 4, it should never be used and is
discussed only for readers supporting existing
<layer>
-filled pages they may come
across. The next edition of this topic will remove this historical footnote.
• Applets, plug-ins, and other embedded media forms, generically called
objects
, can
be included in a layer; however, they will float to the top of all other layers, even if
their containing layer is obscured.
<legend> (Descriptive Legend)
This element is used to assign a caption to a set of form fields as defined by a
fieldset
element.
