I have a css style, which when applied to a static html page works fine.
The problem is, that content is dynamically loaded, into layer3, and then into layer 2.
I don't really understand the consistency. Sometimes the layers are far apart, sometimes they are meshed over each other.
Why is this happening, and how can I keep layer3 in a static position?
An example of the layers being very far apart:
<html><head>
<title>Test page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<div id="Layer0">
<div id="Layer1" class="Layer1">
<h3 align="left">A menu</h3>
<div align="left">
<ul class="BLUE">
<li><a href="#">item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">item 2</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Layer2">
<div id="leftlayer" class="leftlayer">
<form name="searchForm">
An example form:
<input name="search" type="text">
<br>
<input name="Submit" value="Update" onclick="searchUserInfo('parallelimport');return false" type="submit">
</form>
</div></div>
<div id="Layer3"><h1> Why is the layer so far away?</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body></html>
An example of the layers being merged
<html><head>
<title>Test page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<div id="Layer0">
<div id="Layer1" class="Layer1">
<h3 align="left">A menu</h3>
<div align="left">
<ul class="BLUE">
<li><a href="#">item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">item 2</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Layer2">Content goes here</div>
<div id="Layer3">
<h1>Why is the layer up here now?</h1>
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="15%">This wrecks</td>
<td width="10%">The very</td>
<td width="65%">Layout of the page</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body></html>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">

<div id="Layer0">
<div id="Layer1" class="Layer1">

<li><a href="#">item 2</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Layer2">
<h1>I would like information to be here</h1>
<div id="Layer3">
<h1>And then the table to be below the above info</h1>
<table width="85%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="15%"><strong>This is</strong></td>
<td width="20%"><strong>much better</strong></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h1>I would like the Layer 3 to always be in a constant position</h1>
<h1>Does this mean I should have it outside of Layer2?</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body></html>
