form elements not rendering in nn4 (use of ilayer)

im assuming that nn4 treats layers and ilayers as separate document objects, and that is why my form inputs arent rendering. is there a work around for this? basically, the reason why im using layers is to be able to modify their visibility and bgColor attributes dynamically, as nn4 doesnt support object model references to those attributes for divs. here is the code:

<ILAYER id=r1_0_layer>
<DIV class=Level1Question id=r1_0>
<LI>Level1Question</LI>
<DIV class=MAResponse>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TH width=100>1.1</TH>
<TH width=100>1.2</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD width=100><DIV align=center><INPUT type=checkbox name=r1_0a1 value=r1_0a1 onClick="multipleAnswerFlagCheck('r1_0a1');"></DIV></TD>
<TD width=100><DIV align=center><INPUT type=checkbox name=r1_0a2 value=r1_0a2 onClick="multipleAnswerFlagCheck('r1_0a2');"></DIV></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
</DIV>
</ILAYER>

another quick question - does netscape only consider DIVs to be 'layers' if they have absolute positioning?

Well first of all NS likes to see the correct syntax of form using the <form> and </form> tags or the form wont even display. Second toggling the visiblity of from elements can be done crossbrowser and you are on the right track using layers but this might help:

This explains how to do so.

Here is the exmaple page:
