I think the button is best enabled and disabled rather than appearing and
disappearing, use document.form.button.disabled = true/false for that
Without layers, the block of text is a little more fiddly, you can get
clever with a textarea or text lines with colour and style like your
backgrouns and then just populate the form with that. Alternatively, use a
style="visibility:hidden;" to build the page, then use
if (document.getElementById) { // object detection for IE5 and NS6
var layerObj=document.getElementById(layerID);
layerObj.style.visibility='visible';
} else if (document.all) { // object detection for IE4
document.all[layerID].style.visibility='visible';
} else if (document.layers) { // object detection for NS4
document.layers[layerID].visibility='show';
etc etc
That any good?
