[Dynapi-Help] concept clarification about layers, parent or document reltive positioning

[<ml...@id...>]

I have a composit object, made of about 12 different html components
that I want to have a bounding box, this I set into another layer.
I want the whole thing to be tied to that final layer and move with it
etc.

It seems that all layers, regardless of parentage are positioned
against the dynapi.document, not their parent. Is there a way to get
parent relative positioning?
