Ok... let me try to explain it better.
Both functions are doing the same thing for Netscape 4.79, and were both not working as expected. The reason why I wrote two functions was to show that both functions were not working correctly. Using Netscape 4.79 under window 2000, I was trying to clip the layer to some values [0,523,28,424] and then clip it again to a different set of values [0,325,28,226]. First, the layer does get clipped to [0,523,28,424]. However on the second clipping, the layer get clipped to [0,424,28,226] instead of [0,325,28,226]. (To make sure you can see the values, I did make the value appear in a popup window) That's the problem I am having. I want this layer to be clipped to [0,325,28,226], and not [0,424,28,226]. So I wrote two functions to show everyone that somehow this.css.clip.right does not hold the correct value of 325 for Netscape 4.79. Instead it holds 424. That's a bug. This bug only happen with Netscape 4.79. I was not able to reproduce this bug for Netscape 6.2 and IE5.5. So the way I temporally fixed this issue was to clip once to [0,523,28,424] and TWICE the layer to [0,325,28,226]. If you just do that, the layer will be clipped first to [0,523,28,424], then to [0,424,28,226], and then to [0,325,28,226]. In short, it seems that if you have a layer you want to clip twice in a row, it will not work the second time around. Therefore you need to clip it twice the second time.
