[thelist] Javascript problem

[Jonas Bohlin]

I'm to quick on the trigger it seems. it should read "(and in the class if
you're NOT dynamically creating the layers)"

Actually, if you declare doctype strict, you have to set
oElement.style.left = "20px"
the first time you set it (and in the class if you're dynamically creating
the layers) after that
oElement.style.left = 20
I've found, works fine. Perhaps this is only true for netscape 6 though.

OK, so if you declare a doctype values *must* have units. Makes sense.
