Showchild and ShowParent function, for the javascript that checks boxes of child boxes, and parent boxes, the parent function has bene disabled for netscape since netscape cant reference object correctly, and cannot distinguish difference between a string and an index location.

and here is the lines that create the names, and "Label" so to speak.

ok now that you've seen functions, now what, and yes they both should behave pretty much the same, If i say I want checkbox "5" to be checked, both IE and NS should do this "simple" task. I am not talking about anything on complex level, as you can see from both ShowChild and ShowParent, the IE and NS are the same, other than the way they reach the checkboxes (IE = document.all , NS = document.forms)
to put it frankly I hate NS, most of my projects are extended by hours just to make then NS friendly especially with the damn limitations that netscape has ont he client side.
