There is the enabled property of the plugins array in Netscape, but as far
as I know there's nothing similar in Explorer.

My script is supposed to do exactly that. It doesn't depend on style sheets.
In my example I influence the position of the elements only with a very
general style sheet.
But of course the script is not perfect because this is a very complicated
subject with lots of exceptions and exceptions to exceptions etc. But
finding the position of an image should be possible.
Good luck,
