   if(!document.all && document.getElementById)
   {
   //thisbrowser="NN6";

   document.getElementByName("FacImage").src=personimage[personNum].src;
   document.getElementByName("FacInfo").value=persontext[personNum];
   }

... because there *is* no function getElementByName()  -- there's
a getElementsByName() [ Element*s* plural ] that returns an array --
but the appropriate function to use here is getElementById.

FWIW!
