function not working in Netscape

[Eric]

I'm working with a function which is part of my navigation menu. I'm
working with hidden and visible layers and can't seem to determine why
this code will not work in netscape...I'm sure it has something to do
with the "show" and "hide" wording...any ideas?

function MM_showHideLaye rs() {

var i,p,v,obj,args= MM_showHideLaye rs.arguments;
for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) if
((obj=MM_findOb j(args[i]))!=null) { v=args[i+2];
if (obj.style) { obj=obj.style;
v=(v=='show')?' visible':(v='hi de')?'hidden':v ; }
obj.visibility= v; }
}

}

looks like cookie-cutter DreamWeaver code.

no matter. in this line:

v=(v=='show')?' visible':(v='hi de')?'hidden':v ;

at first glance it seems it should read
v=(v=='show')?' visible':(v=='h ide')?'hidden': v;

because it looks syntactically equivalent to

if (v=='show') {
v='visible'; }
else if (v=='hide') {
v='hidden'; }
else { v = v; }

and (v='hide') will always evaluate true to the ternary ?: anyway.
