newbie form question

[defrex]

ok, i'm just starting to explore this whole dhtml thing, and i'm making a nav bar, and trying to get it cross browser. well, as frusterating as that is i'd like to use a form for debuging, but i'm not sure how to reach it. it's on a layer named "main". think you could help me out?

defrex, HI. I had a hard time making a cross-browser DHTML menu as well. THis site offers alot cool and easy cross-browser DHTML help. It also has menu's, tickers and all that's easy to learn...

How cross-browser u want it to be?
NS4.x uses layers, the rest: Opera5, Kameleon and IE use document.all and Mozilla, NS6+ use document.getElementById.

If u program 4 NS4+ good luck, else ure DHTML will be much more easy to build. Go to netscape.com to the developers area and theres a javascript1.3 reference, very handy... mcvdmvs
