Thank you for that piece of information. I have already checked out
inline.js. I cannot see a problem there though. It correctly uses this line
to get the collection of divs:
if (is.ns5) divs=dyndoc.doc.getElementsByTagName("DIV");
I have verified that this is the proper method for use in NS 6.
I am not mistaken that (is.ns5) is actually the test for NS 6 right? It
seems that way in browser.js.
I think I understand most of what is going on in the inline.js file. I am a
little confused about the getModel() method though but I am not sure it
applies to the current problem.

Subject: RE: [Dynapi-Help] Inline Layers NS6, help tracing problem...
I haven't done any DynAPI development myself, but I think what you want to
look at is the inline.js extension. As far as I know it traverses the
browsers DOM looking for DIV's and builds the DynAPI.document.all object,
which is used by the DynAPI as a kind of cross-browser document.layers
array. But all the browser DOM's are different, so how inline.js finds all
those inline DIV's is different. If you work out how to find DIV's in the
document in NS6 then you're part way there. The next challenge is to find
child layers, or DIV's inside DIV's.
Sorry if that's a bit of a crap explanation, but I don't really know what
I'm talking about and I'm in a bit of a hurry :-)
try looking at http://developer.netscape.com/tech/dom/ or
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/ for more info on DOM-1
