Just a quick side note. The layer tag is an old proprietary Netscape tag. It did not make it into HTML 4 or XHTML so it should be avoided. Most of what it did can be done with CSS instead. However there are ways to support old pages using the layer tag by using Javascript here is an example

Thanks for the tips on using layers. I notice the URL you supplied mentioned the "DIV" tag also. Some neat tricks with JS. I would hope I don't have to rely on JS to change the "DIV" contents for testing this. Surely objects, properties, etc can be changed by Perl instead of Javascript ? :)
