Reassigned back to me these bugs that shouldn't have left my list.

We have 2 problems here, both duplicates of other bugs:
- The image DIVs have a "visibility: hidden" which can't be changed (bug 13047)
- The 'javascript:' URLs are currently broken (bug 34217)

Bug 34217 will be fixed real soon because it's a major regression so I'm marking 
this bug as dup of bug 10347.

This bug should have been closed as Invalid. The page at the URL above uses 
layers to show/hide the images. Below is the standard blurb we send to the 
webmasters of offending pages.
------------

FYI: Your web page at this URL:

http://www.windtree.org/windtree/wtphotog8a.html

... uses some features supported only on Navigator 4 such as 
the LAYER/ILAYER tag, DIV SRC=, and/or document.layers[] in 
JavaScript but does not include support for equivalent W3C DOM features.
Thank you for supporting Netscape Navigator.  As a heads-up, please be
advised that these Layer DOM features will not be supported in Navigator 5, which 
features 
full support for W3C standards such as HTML 4.0, CSS1, XML, and DOM1 instead.
To support W3C standards and make your content accessible to all Mozilla- 
and Gecko-based browsers such as Navigator 5, would you please update
your content to add support for HTML 4.0 markup and the W3C DOM?
(You can support both if necessary.) You can find tips on how to do this 
at the following URL:

Also, don't miss this FAQ:

Thanks again for your support of W3C standards and Gecko-  
and Mozilla-based browsers such as Navigator 5!
