IE Does Not Support Netscape’s Layer Tag

Question:
I know that Netscape supports layers in JavaScript. Is there any way to make them work in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 or 5?

Answer:
Unfortunately, no. Microsoft and Netscape have different ideas on what constitutes Dynamic HTML. Netscape’s approach to DHTML is through the use of the tag. This tag is Netscape specific and is not supported by Microsoft Internet Explorer.
