Tag History
- What is it?
- This tag is used in conjunction with the LAYER
and ILAYER tags to indicate content/HTML markup
that will only appear if the browser does not support the LAYER/ILAYER syntax.
Browsers that DO support the layering syntax will ignore the contents of the
NOLAYER tag.

Tips & Tricks
- DTD Note: The Parent/Content models used for this
are taken from the NOSCRIPT tag. I have not experimented with this new tag
very much, and documentation for the tag is almost nonexistent, but the intended
useage behavior of NOLAYER seems to mirror this tag.
- Use of this tag seems only appropriate when the SRC attribute of the LAYER and
ILAYER tags is used. Otherwise, HTML content within a layer will properly degrade
and this tag will not be necessary.
