</ilayer>Meaning
The <ilayer> Netscape 4–specific element allows the definition of overlapping content layers that can be positioned, hidden or shown, rendered transparent or opaque, reordered front to back, and nested.
An inflow layer is a layer with a relative position that appears where it would naturally occur in the document, in contrast to a general layer, which might be positioned absolutely, regardless of its location in a document.
The functionality of layers is available using CSS positioning, and page developers are advised not to use this element. It is presented solely for historical purposes in support of existing pages.

| pagex | Specifies the horizontal position of the layer relative to the browser window. |
| pagey | Specifies the vertical position of the layer relative to the browser window. |
| src | Set the URL of a file that contains the content to be loaded into the layer. |
| top | Specifies, in pixels, the top offset of the layer. The offset is relative to its parent layer, if it has one, or the top page margin if it does not. |
| visibility | Specifies whether a layer is hidden, shown, or inherits its visibility from the layer that includes it. |
| width | Specifies a layer’s width, in pixels. |
| z-index | Specifies a layer’s stacking order relative to other layers. Position is specified with positive integers, with 1 indicating the bottommost layer. |
