[thelist] Simple code help for DHTML & thanks

Hey all,

I'm trying to write a couple of lines of code for cross-browser
DHTML so I can move the different DIVS about. My problem is getting 
the code right for NN4.X. I've been playing around with this for 
way too long, but I can't seem to get it right. Could anyone 
either A) tell me what's wrong with the code below or B) give me a 
(simple) generic code I can plug in which will work for both 
version 4 browsers, or point me to a simple code which will do the 
trick....For your amusement, this is what I've tried so far;

This works for one DIV;

function moveIt(){


  if(document.layers)
      {
        daPic = document.pic
      } 
  else if(document.all) 
      {
        daDiv =pic.style;
      }
daPic.left = parseInt(daPic.left) - 25; ETC, ETC...........
}
==================================================================
but when I try to use parameters to plug more than one DIV in, 
Navigator won't do it.

when I try this I get an error......

function moveIt(which_div){

  if(document.layers)
      {
        daDiv = document.which_div
      } 
  else if(document.all) 
      {
        daDiv = which_div.style;
      }
.....etc, 
}
===============================================================

and this code gives me no errors, but I can't figure out how 
to plug it in;

function moveIt(which_div){

  if(document.layers)
      {
        daDiv = document.layers['which div'];
      } 
  else if(document.all) 
      {
        daDiv = which_div.style;
      }

blah,blah
}


Any help gratefully received.

Cheers,
