=C4mne: [javascript_howto] Trouble with Netscape 4.X nested layers


I need some serious help with getting properties of a nested layer in
Netscape 4.X.  The problem I'm having is that the outer layer contains a

table in which I have id in the <td>s.  I have tried displaying the
objects I get back from my calls and I keep getting "undefined".  Here
is
the main part of the body that I am having problems with:

<div id=3D"MainMenu">
   <table border=3D"0">
      <tr>
         <td id=3D"Menu1" onmouseover=3D"ShowLayer(1);">MainMenu 1</td>
         <td id=3D"Menu2">MainMenu 2</td>
         <td id=3D"Menu3">MainMenu 3</td>
      </tr>
   </table>
</div>

Within ShowLayer(n), I have an if clause to check for Netscape 4.X.
Then,
within the if, I have a line that reads:
          MenuShow =3D "Menu" + n;
          alert(document.layers['MainMenu'].layers[MenuShow]);
However, when the alert pops up, all I get is "undefined".  If however,
I
change the alert to display document.layer['MainMenu'], I get "[object
Layer]" for a value.

I would appreciate any and all help I can get.

Thank you,
Chris Cote
