Try this:
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
for (var i =0; i < divs.length; i++)
divs[i].style.zIndex = i;
if you need to get all the divs "under" a certain parent (container)
you could do this instead:
var divs = container.getElementsByTagName("div");
I got it working on IE but not on Modzilla here is the URL

Why does this work on IE but not Modzilla nor on NN?
Because you have:
function myDiv()
{
var top=0;
var divs = you.getElementsByTagName("div");
--------------^^^
Where 'you' is the id of the div. IE adds ids and names as global
variables that refer to the related DOM object, other browsers may mimic IE
in some circumstances[1], but not here. For them, 'you' is undefined, an
error is thrown and that's as far as the script goes.
It seems that what you want to do is make the n + 1 div visible each time.
So loop through until you find the visible one, make it hidden, then set
the next (or zero-th if at last div) to visible.
The rest of your script has so many errors that it surprising that it works
at all. Try:
<script type="text/javascript">
function myDiv()
{
// Declare variables
var you = document.getElementById('you');
var divs = you.getElementsByTagName("div");
var numDivs = divs.length;
var x=0;
// Look for first non-hidden div
while (divs[x].style.visibility == 'hidden'){
++x;
}
// Set it to hidden
divs[x].style.visibility = 'hidden';
// Set the next or zero-th to visible
divs[++x % numDivs].style.visibility = 'visible';
// Set the timeout
setTimeout("myDiv();",100);
}
You need to add feature detection and replace the form element with a div.
1. This IE-ism was so pervasive that other browsers felt impelled to
implement IE's proprietary behaviour because of the number of issues it
caused. However, it is only supported in Gecko browsers where the DOCTYPE
is not strict or XHTML.
