<layer>

The layer element defines a window which overlays the main screen. While there can be multiple layers visible at one time, the layer with the highest zindex will overlay all layers with a lower zindex. When multiple layers have the same zindex, the layer element with the higher node order in the Document’s tree will display above others with the same zindex. Key strokes are handled by the top-most visible layer.

Example

<layer id="aLayer" zindex="1" visible="false">
  <pr>
    <input type="button" value="Close" />
  </pr>
</layer>
