Marking as INVALID.  Layers aren't supported in Mozilla.

Some text from Eric Krock -

... uses some features supported only on Navigator 4 such as
the LAYER/ILAYER tag, DIV SRC=, and/or document.layers[] in
JavaScript but does not include support for equivalent W3C DOM features.
Thank you for supporting Netscape Navigator.  As a heads-up, please be
advised that these Layer DOM features will not be supported in Navigator 5,
which features
full support for W3C standards such as HTML 4.0, CSS1, XML, and DOM1 instead.
To support W3C standards and make your content accessible to all Mozilla-
and Gecko-based browsers such as Navigator 5, would you please update
your content to add support for HTML 4.0 markup and the W3C DOM?
(You can support both if necessary.) You can find tips on how to do this
at the following URL:
