HTML - <ilayer> Tag



Description

The HTML <ilayer> tag is used to create a layer that occupies space in the containing text flow. Subsequent content is placed after the space occupied by the <ilayer>.

This is in contrast to the <layer> tag, which creates a layer above the containing text flow, allowing subsequent content to be placed under the layer just created.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

   <head>
      <title>HTML ilayer Tag</title>
   </head>

   <body>
      This <ilayer top = "4">word</ilayer> is shifted down, while this 
         <ilayer left = "10">one</ilayer> is shifted over. With a negative value, 
         words can be moved <ilayer top = "-4">up</ilayer> and to the 
         <ilayer left = "-10">left</ilayer>.
   </body>

</html>

This will produce the following result −

The result will only work on Netscape 4.
