I know that.
Really?
So explain then why it works in IE 6?
Not to mention firefox.
They ignore them. As far as all browsers except Netscape 4 is
concerned the code that looks like:
<div class="middle">
<ilayer id="d1" width="200" height="200" visibility="hide">
<layer id="d2" width="200" height="200">
<div id="descriptions" align="left">
....content...
</div>
</layer>
</ilayer>
</div>
might as well be:
<div class="middle">
<bollocks>
<div id="descriptions" align="left">
....content...
</div>
</bollocks>
</div>
And is treated as if it was:
<div class="middle">
<div id="descriptions" align="left">
....content...
</div>
I saw the <layer> tags in the code before applying it.
And didn't think to do a bit of research into what it was and why it
was there?
I wasn't sure if it would work or not. If it works, what the hell?
If you don't know what it is or what it's supposed to do how can you
possibly know whether you're using it properly or whether it will
cause problems in other browsers?
My editor had no problems dealing with it.
I'm sure your editor would also cope with said:
And it's ancient history stuff.
Bingo. It's Netscape 4.x stuff from 1997. That is ancient history.
Your page is totally FUBAR in Netscape 4 so including relics like
<layer> isn't helping you with compatability for the poor souls who
still use that browsers. So is there any point in keeping it in there?
Go on have a guess. It's a yes/no question so even you have a 50%
chance of being right.
