Hi Pascal,

Thanks for your advice.

Yes, NS6 is the culprit here. But I would need my code to work on all
versions of the browser.

According to http://sites.netscape.net/ekrockhome/standards.html , there
are certain guidelines to follow in order to be W3C compliant. Looking
through the code of dynlayer.js, for example, 'document.all' and 'document.layers[]'
will not be recognized by NS6 and future browsers endorsing the open standards.
i think it is essential to build DynaAPI 2 on the solid foundation of W3C DOM
in order to be future proof.
