Or you could do

document.all[name].style.left = whatever

if you're sure they're using IE.

Ini: It would be interesting to have a page with some of the common problems/poor ways of doing things outlined and the generally agreed upon 'best practice' solution(s) outlined - it wouldn't have to be much more than what you've written above but it would be useful. I know I find such discussions as above very useful and I know its helping me improve my JavaScripting so thanks.
