For some reason IE7 is having problems with this script. Mozilla works fine. Any ideas?

\<script language=“javascript”\>  
function showDiv ( elemID )  
{  
var elem = document.getElementById ( elemID ) ;  
elem.style.position = ‘relative’ ;  
elem.style.left = ‘0px’ ;  
elem.style.top = ‘0px’ ;  
}

function hideDiv ( elemID )  
{  
var elem = document.getElementById ( elemID ) ;  
elem.style.position = ‘absolute’ ;  
elem.style.left = ‘-4000px’ ;  
elem.style.top = ‘0px’ ;

}

\</script\>
