The styleId attribute did the trick. To quote the great homer simpson: "doh!"
When it was not there, firefox responded exactly like it should. The method is getElementById not getElementByName. getElementByName works just fine under IE however since under IE it uses the name attribute. Thanks again for solving this for me. It was driving me crazy!
