Layer Query regarding Netscape 6

Hello fellow hackers,

    I have a question regarding how Netscape 6 handles layers.  I've been 
over some developer websites for N6, and haven't seen anything about how it 
handles the visibility: hidden style property.  I have a javascript reveal 
function that right now works for IE 4+ and NN 4, and I would like to 
incorporate N6 in this, in the off chance some tech savvy users are using 
N6.  So far, all I've seen is the ability to hide and reveal things using 
display: none/"" property.  Does the visibility property work in N6?

Below is the reveal function I'm using, any ideas as to how to modify it to 
get my layers to show in N6?  Thanks. Also, I'm on the digest version on 
this list so a direct response would be appreciated.

function reveal(genericSubObject)
{
  // are they using NN 4?
  if (document.layers)
     {
visible = 'show';
        hidden = 'hide';
        subreferencer = document.layers[genericSubObject];
     }

  // are they using IE?
  else if (document.all)
     {
        visible = 'visible';
        hidden = 'hidden';
        subreferencer = document.all(genericSubObject).style;
     }

  if (subreferencer.visibility == visible)
     {
         subreferencer.visibility = hidden;
     }
  else
     {
         subreferencer.visibility = visible;
     }
}
