How to add an inline layer in HTML?


Use the <ilayer> tag to add an inline layer. 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.

The HTML <ilayer> tag supports the following attributes −

Attribute

A filename or URL for an image upon which the inline layer's text and images will appear.

Example

You can try to run the following code to implement <ilayer> tag −

<!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>
