Layers in Account Setup Screens

Many of the Account Setup screens make use of the <LAYER> tag supported by Netscape Communicator. The screens use layers for greater positional control of page elements and for displaying/hiding different text in different situations. Each layer is fully described in an HTML <!-- Comment --> that appears just above each <LAYER> tag.

In screens that use layers to expose text dynamically, the Account Setup Editor lists all alternative layers in the Expose Layer pop-up menu in the Toolbar. You can look at any dynamic layer by selecting it from the pop-up menu. Note that layers used for positioning of graphics and text that are always displayed--rather than being dynamically displayed--are part of the Main Document layer listed in the pop-up menu.
