[Javascript] Sorry, another question.

Nope. Well, you can use separate layers for each individual normal and 
mouseover link, but it's far too much work generally, besides that you have 
to position all layers absolutely, which is again lots of work.

As you noted, you can change the properties to whatever you like, but the 
browser won't react. Apart from the style properties there are several such 
strange dead ends in NN4.

My guess is that they added the properties and made them read/write but 
couldn't manage to make the actual display on-screen change when you change 
the properties.

You simply *cannot* change text dynamically in NN4.
