NN uses <layer> and IE uses <div>, is there a common purpose tag for both??

Juergen Thelen, Ric Paton,


Hi Ric,
Afaik not, and in my opinion there never ever will be, because the 
<layer> tag only exists in the NN4 object model.
Why donīt you use the <DIV> tag for common purposes? The handling of 
<DIV> tagged layers in both major browsers requires a bit more work, 
because NN4 treats <DIV> tagged layers as documents, but isn't this the 
way, we all handle layers for cross browser solutions?
Juergen.
