accessing nested layers

[UCENwebster]

lets say I have a nested sublayer:

<div id='biglayer'>
<div id='nested_layer'></div>
</div>

and I want to change the properties of the nested layer called 'nested_layer' from a javascript function. How do I reference that layer in IE and NN? I appreciate any help you can offer

document.biglayer.nested_layer.whatever you want to access

For all browsers that support getElementById (this includes IE5+, Opera 5+, Mozilla/N6+) it is sufficient to do this:

document.getElementById('nested_layer').[properties to access]

For NN4.x it's a different story, and it should be like this:

document.layers['biglayer'].layers['nested_layer'].[properties to access]
