I haven't tested this, but you may get better
results from toggling between 'display:none'
and 'display:block', rather using 'visibility:hidden'
and 'visibility:show' in your MM_showHideLayers
function.

Using the visibility property, the element is
still on the page, which accounts for its
length. Using the display property, the elements
won't be on the page until they're called.
