Thanks for your answer.

This sounds like I'm not using the good reference guide for JavaScript (I'm
using the version 1.3 of Client Script from Netscape).
What will be the correct reference guide to use for writting against new
browser?

As a side note, I was not really trying to update the with of my Layer (this
was just a sample). What I'm hopping to do is to place within a layer a kind
of footer that will stay visible at the end of the window and stay there if
we resize the window or use the scroll bars.

Thanks,
José
