I am using a div.  In another area of the site I use
document.layers.tags.visibility='hidden' which works perfectly in NN.  NN
doesnt seem to care that I use a div when I reference document.layers - it
still works.  What I cant seem to do is reference a div in another frame. 

Is there an online reference to the NN DOM that I could use to sort out
what the syntax should be?  In the frame I have a table, which includes a
form, which includes the layer I am interested in.  All I need to know is
how to reference that layer from another frame.

Thanks everyone for your help... sooner or later I (we) will get it.
