To All,

I was playing around with a page where I found out that just about
everything that I wanted to do I had to use:

function namedFunction(layer)
 {
 var whatever = document.getElementById(layer);
* // other code here.*
 }

And I got really annoyed at having to either copy and paste or retype the
getElementById(layer) part. So I thought about a way to not have to retype
it (and make it cross-browser compatible) and to assign it a variable that I
could use over and over again. I used the below:

var identifier = document.getElementById(layer);

function namedFunction()
 {
 var whatever = identifier;
 *// other code here.*
 }

In the html part:

<a onhover="namedFunction('timer')><img src="ex.jpg" alt="ex" /></a>

where when you hovered over the image it dropped down a menu. Would this be
acceptable and cross-browser compatible code?
