Help validating ilayer

[mike]

Hello,
Can some one help me with the problem that I am having to validate this.
Here is the code I have:
<ilayer name="test34i"><div id="test34"><img src="wavestest.gif"
alt="test"></div></ilayer>

Here is the error it is giving me:
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document
type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This
error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a
document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document
type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary
extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to
achieve the desired effect instead).

This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the
document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported
attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for
further information.

How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,
(Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed
in the chosen document type, and/or

That's it. The validator presents things in a bit odd order, but the point
anyway is that ilayer is not, never was and never will be part of any HTML
specification. Besides, it's hopelessly outdated - it was never supported
by IE, for example.

What to do? Depends on what you are doing and what you aim at. You told
nothing about that.

<ilayer> is a Netscape 4 extension. As Jukka says, it's not supported
by any
W3C specification, which is used by the validator to test your page. No
matter which document type you use to validate your page, you'll get
the
same kind of error message because it was never supported by the
organization that made the validator (the W3C.)
The good news is: anything the <ilayer> tag can do can be done with
CSS. I
suggest you use that instead, if you can. (If you don't know any CSS,
go
ahead and learn some. It's easy to use.)

Hope this helps.

There's no such thing as ilayer in any published HTML version.
Here is the error it is giving me:

That's not the underlying error - it's cascaded from it. That presentation
is a weakness of the validator you used. Page Valet[1] in "visual validator"
mode would report the same error in a much clearer manner.

Thanks do you have a website that I can learn to make this a css.

Can't help you with CSS code as a replacement for ilayer, but w3schools
has some fine tutorials and one of them is about CSS:
