When it comes to modern web development, thinking in terms of "layers" is nearly suicide. Your document is a complex tree of elements which interact with each other and are displayed relative to how their siblings are displayed. Make use of this. Code your document so that its structure represents the data it contains - NOT what it looks like.

From there, you can use CSS to set the initial appearance of the page, and the DOM to dynamically change its appearance. For more information, I suggest you read http://www.slimeland.com/content/articles/jsenhance/ .
