You are more than a bit mixed up. Layer is a proprietary construct of
Netscape 4.
What you are probably thinking of is z-index and div.
As far as background images that do not repeat, do a Google search on
CSS and, surprise, no-repeat.
Also, you are sure to annoy the regulars here (I'm not a regular) if
you post in HTML instead of plain text and try to over produce a page.
What it is all about here is seperating content from presentation. As
well as designing for all browsers and resolutions.
Try over in alt.html
And consider FLASH, it may give you all the bells and whistles you want.
