I'm testing something on an old version of netscape, specifically 4.7. Everythings fine except for my javscript function doesn't work because it says getElementById is not a function:
document.getElementById('ncp').src = "ncp" + pictureNum + ".jpg";
I've got many more of these type lines but it works fine in IE and FF. Is there something I can do to make this compatible with netscape browsers?
document.getElementById('ncp').src = "ncp" + pictureNum + ".jpg";

You'll have to navigate the hierarchy. For example, use the document.images collection.
I made the decision long ago that I simply wasn't going to worry myself, or add huge development overhead, to supporting old browers, particularly for corporate development projects and/or sites. Use a strict DOCTYPE, code to that standard, cut down on the fancy stuff, and use server-side code as much as possible.

I just decided to scrap the idea. I couldn't get anything to work without changing a bunch of code. I think to really get it to work you have to use layers with netscape, but it's just not worth it.
Thanks for the help!

Netscape 6+ supports getElementById.
If you require support for Netscape 4 (about 1 visitor in 500 or less now) then you need to use document.layers instead just for those visitors and use getElementById for everyone else.
