+1. This is an unnecessarily complicated way to accomplish this.
Turning visibility on and off (or better yet for IE 4+ and Netscape 6,
switching display between "block" and "none") would be much more
straightforward. Best of all, a good, old-fashioned, cross-browser image
swap would make your life simpler still. I also recommend hand-grooming your
code -- both the script and the html -- since both are a bit bloated.

Well, it depends on which part of the userAgent string you're
looking at. The full UA string for Netscape 6.0 (running under Windows NT
with US English as the default language) is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001108 Netscape6/6.0
So, you could grab either the Mozilla/5.0 part or the Netscape6/6.0
part.
> Also - does anyone know if getElementById() supported by IE4?
No, it's not. And, as you suggest, Jon, an error results.
