I have used layers extensively in the past but I don't believe they
satisfy the requirements for the W3C Content Accessibility Guidelines.
As to whether they cause actual problems, I would think your best bet
may to have a look at the specifications of individual browsers. Layers
are supported in all browser version 4 onwards (MSIE 4+, Netscape, etc).

You may just have to try and test. The link below provides a list to a
number of 'alternative' browsers.
