I just tried this out in Mozilla 0.8, and it seems to work fine. In
Netscape 6.0, on the other hand, the page took forever to load, no dynlayer
showed up, and the javascript console showed this error:
DynLayer is not defined
Source file: http://www.merlinsworld.net/src/lib/dynapi/api/dyndocument.js
Line 35
Looks like whatever is choking Netscape 6 is fixed in Mozilla now. We
should probably be testing the latest build of Mozilla instead of Netscape 6
when debugging for the DOM stuff on that platform... At least, that's what
I'm going to do from now on.
