Abstract
Layers are usually associated with Netscape because of the LAYER tag which is a Netscape innovation. The easy way to understand layers is to think of them as flexible frames. Frames, which we studied in chapter 4, are strict in the way they are displayed, as their size, place and number are pre-defined. Layers, however, can be controlled individually by showing or hiding each layer as desired. In addition, the position where these layers are displayed can be fixed independently from other layers or related to other layers.
