>for your NS4 problems:
First off, thanks for a *wonderfully* thorough and precise response.
I know this might sound kind of funny, I had great pleasure in
reading this. This is what I consider to be a most excellent example
of high quality collaborative communication.
If I may, I would like to address a number of points you've made.

Uh! Ok, I get that. Thanks, the fix worked perfectly.

Can you offer an example of what that would look like? You probably
mean the way that I've initialized and assigned the alternate image
values, right?

Up until this time, I was a staunch proponent of keeping all my code
as backward compatible as possible. There also has to be a time when
someone moves into the current world. I'm new to doing a page that's
(almost) 100% css2, so I hadn't encountered that yet.

Can you offer an example of what you are looking at when you mention
that? If you are referring to the stylesheet itself, there are some
declarations where I've had to repeat stuff, because NS4 wouldn't
cascade them properly.

I've seen DreamWeaver sites do that. What would you consider the
advantages of using CSS for this purpose? Are you thinking of
toggling the visibility of the divs on and off, or were you thinking
of another approach?

Now *this* I'm quite surprised at, especially when I go out of my way
to use the validator. Can offer some examples?
I usually consider myself to be quite the expert in HTML (not JS
though!), and you've opened my eyes on a number of things. Thanks
again, this was a great response.
