You are *so* out of order on *so* many levels.

Just how long have you been using CSS and the DOM? since Netscape 4?

not a willy waving contest, just that to me "layer" the way you are
using it is old fashioned and usually used by Dreamweaver users.


One legacy term comes from the first days of DHTML: the word layer.
Netscape 4 had its own proprietary layer model (see the Intermediate
DOM page for more info) and since many people first programmed their
DHTML for Netscape 4, layer has also become to mean a separate part of
the page that can be moved independently from all other elements on
the page, even though we don't use the tag to put them in the
HTML document.

we've moved on from DHTML, we're now "manipulating the DOM" using
ECMAscript and separating our behaviour layers from our presentation
and our structure layers.

We're also creating the structure layer semantically using appropriate
(x)html elements, arranged in a valid way.

The rest of your attack was so mindless it doesn't deserve a response.

So I'll say no more.
