Right off hand, I can't say without seeing some code. Why don't you post a snippet that's not working as expected? Updated:

I am not seeing any problems using N4.7 on NT. IE 4.0 and N6 PR1 are another story -- the code totally doesn't work. From what I can see, your test case is trying to build an outer table with a grey background. The nested table has a green cell, a cell containing a red inlined layer, and a blue cell.

Well, I played around with your code, added some more layers, an ode to hunger, and some table attributes. They work absolutely fine -- but only in N4.7.

restating common knowledge... Layer behavior is browser specific which requires that you use *groan* javascript to autodetect and write the correct tags if you are coding for a general audience. I don't know if IE 5 supports external doc loading for layers but I know that 4.0 does not. LAYER and ILAYER usually work as expected under Netscape (pour moi), so I am unable to guess where your errors are coming from... (Netscape under Linux? Some other weird and kray-Z browser/OS combo?)
