[DOM related] IE vs. Gecko

Hi,

In the html (as shown below) there are some <a> tags I need to move into a map.
This is no problem (in Gecko) using the js below.

However, IE 5+ (nor 6) does not want to play.
It gives me an "undefined" error and basically does not give me the objects I expect.

Undoubtfully one *can* get a hold of these objects and obviously this is the question.
How does one do this in IE??

TIA,
Fermin DCG

html:
<table>
<tr id="1" class="segment" >
<td>
<div class="tier2">
<a href="#" class="collapse d" onclick="openCl oseSegment(this );"><span class="alt">[-] /</span></a>
<a href="#" title="Row title">Cat1</a>
<a href="#" onClick="hideUn hide(this)"><st rong>Hide</strong>
