Recommend that you use Jscript for any client side scripting needs. VBScript
is natively supported only in IE. For VBScript to work in Netscape a plugin
is needed.

DHTML can be quite powerful and well worth the extra work that it takes to
make it cross platform enabled. To avoid having to reinvent the wheel I'd
suggest searching the web for JavaScript DHTML libraries. These libs contain
functions which identify the browser and route to the appropriate code for
the calling browser.

I've used the dhtmllib library for over a year with excellent results. You
can download a copy of it from:
http://www.siteexperts.com/dhtmllib/page1.asp

The site also contains numerous examples.
