Excerpt of Netscapes HTML Tag Reference:
---
ILAYER
(inline layer)
This tag allows you to offset content from its natural position in the 
page, which is the position the content would normally have if it was 
not positioned. That is, you can position the content relative to its 
natural position. This relatively positioned content is both inflow, in 
that it occupies space in the document flow, and inline, in the sense 
that it shares line space with other HTML elements. If you want 
relatively positioned content to appear on a separate line, you can 
insert a break before the ILAYER tag or embed the ILAYER tag in the 
<DIV> tag. Navigator 4.0

The ILAYER tag only exists in the NN4 object model. IE4/5 and NN6 use 
an IFRAME tag instead for similiar purposes. 
To learn more about usage of the ILAYER tag have a look at:
