Don't have the DynAPI2 code here, but can't see (in other code) where
document.all
or document.layers is used.

Again, we could make DynAPI2 W3C Dom compliant, but making sure NS6 works is
more important.
I know, NS6 is DOM compliant.. if it's fully DOM compliant, other dom
browsers will also work
with the same tricks and updating will be easy, but I'd rather make sure NS6
is supported then
making sure a written standard is supported (but browsers can still cause
problems)

Use other code then, your code doesn't seem to be working on NS6, so either
your code is wrong
or NS6 seems to have a bug and you have to work around it. Again, it's not a
DynAPI bug :)

cya!
