       	if(document.getElementById) { // IE 5 and up, NS 6 and up, FF
			var upLevel = true;
		}
		else if(document.layers) { // Netscape 4
			var ns4 = true;
		}
		else if(document.all) { // IE 4
			var ie4 = true;
		}

		function showObject(obj) {
			if (ns4) {
				obj.visibility = "show";
			}
			else if (ie4 || upLevel) {
				drawMessageBox();
				obj.style.visibility = "visible";		
			}
		}

	        showObject('splashScreen');

		function hideObject(obj) {
			if (ns4) {
				obj.visibility = "hide";
				}
			if (ie4 || upLevel) {
				obj.style.visibility = "hidden";
				}
			}

		function drawMessageBox()
		{
		    var box = "<div id='splashScreen' style='position:absolute;z-index:5;top:30%;left:35%;'>"
		             +"<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'>"
		             +"<tr><td style='width:100%; height:100%;font-family:Tahoma;' align='center'>"

function showObject(obj) {
   if (ns4) {
      obj.visibility = "show";
   }
   else if (ie4 || upLevel) {
      drawMessageBox();
      obj.style.visibility = "visible";
   }
}

showObject('splashScreen');

You are calling your function with a string, then trying to set the style of it. You need to use document.getElementById(obj) after drawMessageBox() to turn that string in to an object.

Can i ask what your implementation of this is? Hoe are you using it, and why do you need to display a floating div in front of the page to tell the user it is loading?

I'm not criticizing or anything, I just don't think i've ever seen something like this done before and would love to be enlightened.
