Author Help creating a css for ilayer
mike

Hello,
I created a website with a ilayer tag which is only good for netscape. And
the problem that I am having is that I want to validate my website. Of
course this will not work because I have a ilayer tag which is not
exceptiable to the w3. From what I have heard is that it is possible to
create a ilayer as a css. I was wondering does anyone have a example on how
to do this. Here is the code I have:

<table width=468 border=0 align="center" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
style="border: 1px;"><tr><td>
<div id="test3a" style="position:absolute"><img src="wind.gif"
alt="flip"></div>
<div id="test4a" style="position:absolute"><img src="wind.gif"
alt="windsurfer"></div>
<div id="test5a" style="position:absolute"><img src="windblue.gif"
alt="bluesurfer"></div>
<div id="test6a" style="position:absolute"><img src="windgreen.gif"
alt="greensurfer"></div>
<ilayer name="w34ia"><div id="w34"><img src="anim.gif"
alt="waves"></div></ilayer>
</td></tr></table>
thanks for your help

No, it not good for Netscape either. It might work on some versions of it
though.

You made site that only works on certain versions of netscape (which you
know) and your problem is to validate your page? Maybe you should rethink
what you are doing/ rethink what you aim.

No, it isn't. It is possible to get same rendering using CSS most likely.
Of course, we would need to know what is that rendering. After all,
ilayer was only used by idiots, for very short period many years ago, so
you can't assume people know what it does.

Most likely.

And what you want to happen? Pointless use of table in your example.

maybe you want to check

Maybe try sticking to valid markup then?
