Hope you don't kick yourself.

Change:
    loopID = setTimeout(loopBackground(),1000)
to
    loopID = setTimeout("loopBackground()",1000)

This kind of thing has bitten me a few times. Do you get the feeling 
that Netscape has a different person working on each method, function, 
property, etc. and they have never met each other?
