Layers

Layers let you position overlapping blocks of content on a page, form, or subform. Layers give you design flexibility because you can control the placement, size, and content of information. You can create and stack multiple layers. Transparent layers reveal layers underneath; opaque layers conceal layers underneath.

The content of a layer depends on whether you create a layer on a page or a form. When you create a layer on a page, a layer can contain the same elements that a page can contain; for example, you can add text and graphics, and so on. When you create a layer on a form, a layer can contain the same elements that a form can contain; for example, you can add text and graphics, as well as controlled-access sections, fields, and subforms.

After you create a layer, you can change the following properties of the layer:

• Position
• HTML properties
• Background color and image
