Richard, thanks again for your response.

However one thing confuses me.  You say that you can change the size of
inline layers to expand the rest of the page downwards.  This works
for me on IE, but in Netscape the layer just expands right over the
content below it.  Is there a way to make Netscape expand the rest of
the page down?  This is really the main thing I'd like to do.

Thanks,
Jonah

Yes, it's like that, I don't know if anything can be done about this.
It's better not to rely on inline layers for anything more than the simplest
of tasks.
They are very handy as place-keepers though, so you can show another layer
at the same point. And you can change their size to expand the rest of the
page downwards.

If it's just the events you're worried about, you can set the layer to
position:absolute , but without any left or top values, and it behaves like
a relative layer, then mouse events do work.
setHTML will not work on inline layers I think.

Cheers,
Richard Bennett
