I saw a browser sniffer script one time that assigned a 
variable a value of "layers" (for NS) or "div" (for IE), and 
used something like the Javascript line below to use the 
same function for each browser:

document.[variableName].datetime.left =100;

Sorry, no Javascript whiz, but IIRC, it worked fine.
