I am trying to alter dynamically both the visibility and the href of a link.
I can do both fine in Netscape, but not at the same time.

To alter the href I use:

document.links[0].href = "dogs.htm";

To alter the visibility I have to surround each link by a <div> tag.

<div id="geese1" STYLE="position:absolute; visibility:visible;">

Interestingly this doesn't worth without the position bit - is there a clue
there?

Then I can do:

document.geese1.visibility = "hide";

But the effect of putting the <div> tags in has made:

document.links.length = 0

Is there a solution?

Rob

NS treats hidden images / layers as either in the head section, at the
beginning of the document or not there at all. I've had a similar
problem with rollover images, as if you hide them, it alters their
position in the document.images[] array. Hopefully someone who uses NS a
bit more than me will come up with a solution, but I have tried quite a
few 'work-arounds' which don't work }8(.

NN 4 can only hide a layer, the position absolute creates a layer (you
could use relative as an alternative.)  however layer objects have
their own heirachy so the link is now inside the layer not in the main
document hence

document.geese1.document.links[0].href='dogs.htm'

is the way to change the URL.
