Frustrations aside, you're shutting out potential customers and buyers to your site if you shut out people who use Netscape. Not a smart move, not at all.

Jim,

I've had the same problem more or less, while making a kind of scrollnavigation you made.
Netscape refused, but I couldn't figure out why.

In the end I decided to make the scroller in Flash.

To hell with Netscape.

Ummmm.... maybe nobody knows? I don't think there are too many people around here who do a lot of work with layers on a regular basis. You might want to try the site you got that script from - see if you can get help there.

Guess if I want a reply I'll have to do it myself.

The problem is that Netscape is seeing the layers as different objects. However I can't figure out how to cause Netscape to target the lower div. It has something to do with the slider.js file. If only I was smarter.

I tried posting in several boards. Nobody has been able to help. Could it be that folks think I am a leach? What is a good ratio of answers to questions? Maybe I'll just go away.
