Unfortunately writing "DHTML" (I hate this word) stuff in a 
cross-browser way is nearly impossible. I tried to do something on the 
DOM part of mozilla.org that was actually useful, it worked in Mozilla 
IE and Konqueror but unfortunately not in NS4 and Opera, and I fear 
there will always be a problem with such scripts : it will never be 
totally good in all browsers. Admittedly, CSS also will look in some 
browsers, but to a lesser extent than DOM. I think the DHTML should be 
left for DOM samples and demos of other stuff, but not for usual 
content, that could render the content of the site inaccessible to 
people without javascript enabled, for example.
