This is a new element created by Netscape that allows an author to define precisely positioned 2-dimensional layout consisting of overlapping layers of transparent or solid content on a web page.
Layers can have a stacking order that allows a virtual third z-dimension to be defined.
Using this, layers can appear on top of other layers. Layers can be nested and moved in a dynamic fashion via scripting. Digital video recording service from Microsoft. All rights reserved.
