Netscape Layers - displaying and hiding layers
How do you set the visibility of a layer in Netscape? I do not know how to reference the layer. I have no problems in IE4.
document.all("NAME").style.visibility = "hidden/visible";
Do I have to use the <ilayer> tag? I will have text in this layer that can be turned on or off.

I think you can get to it using
a layers array:
document.layers[0].?
or
document.layer[0].?
The question mark being the command or object we are looking for, now if I can just remeber if the layer tag does the visible/invisible thing...

<Jonh Pollock> Thanks for your reply. You were on the right track with your references. This is how I found the solution - if your interested!
if (document.all) {
document.all("movingLayer").style.visibility = "visible";
}
if (document.layers) {
document.layers["movingLayer"].visibility = "visible";
}
<div id="movingLayer" style="position:absolute; width:340px; left:40px; top:20px;">CONTENT HERE</div>
You can check out the result at http://home.primus.com.au/lloydhass/scsearchmenu/index.html. The thing I have created has no purpose really - it was just an experiment in moving layers around the screen.

I was always a bit scared of dynamic html and especially layers because I have had so many problems with netscape in the past. But after completing this project and finding an easy solution, I think I will start playing around with DHTML again.
