i seem to have created a small problem with netscape, the script below will 
stall out netscape, rendering it unusable until the computer is restarted. 
if anyone has any idea how this could have happened please let me know:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function positionLayers() {

	overviewObj = eval(document["overviewLyr"]);
    overviewObj.top = 75;
}
var direction = "up";
var timer1 = null;

function move(dir) {
    direction = dir;
    var y_pos = parseInt(overviewObj.top);

        if(direction == "dn" && y_pos > -100) {
            overviewObj.top = (y_pos-2);

            clearTimeout(timer1);
            timer1 = setTimeout("move(direction)", 1);
        } else if(direction == "up" && y_pos < 75) {
            overviewObj.top = (y_pos+2);

            clearTimeout(timer1);
            timer1 = setTimeout("move(direction)", 1);
        } else {
            overviewObj.top = y_pos;
        }
}
</SCRIPT>

<body onload="positionLayers()">
