I don't know if you are trying to represent only, but:
The ID must be unique document-wide and the ID values must begin
with a letter (A-Z or a-z) and may be followed by any number of
letters, digits (0-9), hyphens (-), underscores (_), colons (:),
and periods (.).
(Spaces), (+) and (') are not permitted.
The value for the id attribute must be quoted.
Your sample:
<DIV ID="' + this.id + '"><IMG SRC="/image/pic.gif"></DIV>
and:
d.getElementById(this.id).style...
Should be:
<div id="uniqueId"><img src="/image/pic.gif"></div>
and you access it with:
d.getElementById("uniqueId").style.visibility = "hidden"
[note the quotation marks]
and the embedded stylesheet:
<style type="text/css">
#uniqueId { position: absolute; left: 54px; top: 25px; }
</style>
