It should also be noted that the NS DOM is not based on a flat model like=20
IE's or the W3C's. If you have a layer nested within another layer, you=20
have to access it this way in NS 4.x:
document.layers['layer1_name'].document.layers['layer2_name']
... and on and on for every level of nesting... cumbersome to say the=20
least. In IE and NS 6 you can access any ID'd element by name directly=20
which makes a lot more sense.
HTH!
