31477 - Layers probably not implemented yet.

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Nils Hammar]

Layers doesn't seem to be implemented yet, URL provided is a page with a lot of
linked layers and javascript combined.

This file might be useful when developing and testing layer functionality.

The page in question is usually a generated page from a database in an intranet,
which results in inaccessible links in the provided URL.

I'm not completely sure that all the HTML on the page is 100% correct, but it
works in Netscape 4.72. It doesn't work correctly in Internet Explorer, and that
is a known bug (or feature if you like).

We do not plan on implementing the LAYER tag in the new layout engine, because 
it's not a standard

For information on how to use standard methods to achieve what you want to do, 
please read <http://sites.netscape.net/ekrock/standards.html> which also 
describes mozilla's position regarding layers.
