Nice effort! You missed a few variables and an id, maybe two. You also misunderstood what was going on with the original onload events, and as a result did not translate them properly to the body tag. I cannot vouch for it in NS4 but, in all modern browsers that supported the original, it will work. Ugly looking, but works. I may work on this more later, to make it pretty.
