# Layer
The `layer` style defines the layer a widget belongs to.
## Syntax
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_start.md"
layer: <a href="../../css_types/name"><name></a>;
--8<-- "docs/snippets/syntax_block_end.md"
The `layer` style accepts a [`<name>`](../css_types/name.md) that defines the layer this widget belongs to.
This [`<name>`](../css_types/name.md) must correspond to a [`<name>`](../css_types/name.md) that has been defined in a [`layers`](./layers.md) style by an ancestor of this widget.
More information on layers can be found in the [guide](../guide/layout.md#layers).
!!! warning
Using a `<name>` that hasn't been defined in a [`layers`](./layers.md) declaration of an ancestor of this widget has no effect.
## Example
In the example below, `#box1` is yielded before `#box2`.
However, since `#box1` is on the higher layer, it is drawn on top of `#box2`.
[//]: # (NOTE: the example below also appears in the guide and 'layers.md'.)
=== "Output"
```{.textual path="docs/examples/guide/layout/layers.py"}
```
=== "layers.py"
```python
--8<-- "docs/examples/guide/layout/layers.py"
```
=== "layers.tcss"
```css hl_lines="3 14 19"
--8<-- "docs/examples/guide/layout/layers.tcss"
```
## CSS
```css
/* Draw the widget on the layer called 'below' */
layer: below;
```
## Python
```python
# Draw the widget on the layer called 'below'
widget.styles.layer = "below"
```
