I believe the reason it works under IE 4/5 is due to their proprietary
DOM (Document Object Model) extensions, which let you access the element
with an id of "mytext" as "document.mytext". In your code, the
"document." is implicit.
A quick change to replace :
mytext.innerHTML="Home.";
with
document.getElementById("mytext").innerHTML="Home.";
in all the functions will make this work in NS6, mozilla, and IE5.5
I can't test in any other browsers, but I suspect that this should also
work in other recent browsers (since it's W3C standard DOM) I can tell
you for certain, however, that it won't work in NN4.x
