I am unable to set layer. When viewed in browser they are out of position.
I am using Fp2003
 
How are you inserting the layer - in a table cell or directly under
the <body> tag?
Layers inserted in table cells will nearly always render out of
position. Other layers will always be correct, but appear to wrong
because the rest of the page is out of position.
A link to the page will enable better advice.
 
Do not use the space bar as a design tool. The video positioning is
variable because it is positined using spaces - the size of a space
will vary from browser to browser, computer to computer, depending on
the users font settings - you have no control over this.

You have one layer on the page, with an additional layer nested inside
this.
The second layer will not display since the first has a higher
z-index, and will always cover it.
The first layer displays correctly - exactly where you positioned it:
left: 12px; top: 671px;

A third layer will not display in my browser at all, since my browser
is opened to a width of 800px, and this layer is set to 993px from the
left - off the screen. However, this layer only contains a single
space character so will not be seen anyway.

It is inadvisablre to use VML graphics.
VML graphics are text boxes, shapes, word-art and any other objects
produced from the drawing toolbar. VML will only display in Internet
Explorer 5.5 and later running on Windows, other browsers will render
nothing at all, or a very poor quality .gif image instead.

Your layers appear to do nothing in this page - I suggest you use
tables for layout, but drop those VML things. As I said in my earlier
post, the layers are correct - the rest of the page is wrong, in this
case due to excessive use of the space bar.

The video is much too big for the home page - no-one will wait the
three minutes it took to load on my system (512Mb ADSL), which implies
30 minutes on dial up.
