NS 6 has done it's own thing with the DOM and I don't understand DOM very well. The one person that can come close to explaining it so I understand it is Peter-Paul Koch who usually replies to posts like these.

Since he hasn't yet, http://www.xs4all.nl/~ppk/js/index.html -- there's lots of stuff in there about the DOM, cross-browser issues, etc.

Another favorite spot of mine is http://www.bratta.com/ -- he has plenty of dhtml in there and it is amazing (yes, it's dhtml and /not/ flash). Some of his scripts don't have NS 6 fixes yet, but check the forum -- I picked up a wonderful menu script that works in all but some Netscape flavors for Mac and I think that's because of the DTD I used.

For issues pertaining to Macs and Netscape and rendering DTDs in strict v. bug mode, well that's another link altogether which is at http://developer.apple.com/internet/_html/doctype.html.

Having fun yet??

FWIW,
