HTML <ilayer> tag

Function:

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.

Difference between HTML and XHTML:

This tag is supported by Netscape only.

Example:

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>.

This will produce following result:

This word is shifted down, while this one is shifted over. With a negative value, words can be moved up and to the left.

NOTE: This example will work in Netscape 4 only.
