Netscape attempts to map style="position:absolute" to layer but only supports this on a limited number of elements and has an object model that is incompatible with Internet Explorer in this area. I think you need to take this up on a Netscape support newsgroup. One specific way in which Netscape's object model differs is that layers are in a different namespace from the containing document, which is probably your specific problem. This sort of dynamic content is generally an accessibility as well as a portability issue.
