Slime Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: Massachusetts, USA Insane since: Mar 2000	posted 03-07-2002 05:15 You specify with this line <body onload="javascript:moveit(200)"> that you want it to start at 200 pixels from the left. Now, that line also has a fundamental problem: you need to know the difference between a javascript URL and a regular javascript statement. You only use "javascript:" if the browser is expecting a URL. For instance: <a href="JavaScript:myfunc();">...</a> The browser is looking for http: or something there, but when it finds javascript:, it knows to execute the code instead of going to a URL. In something like onload="" or onclick="" or whatever, you don't use "javascript:". The browser isn't expecting a URL there, it's expecting javascript code. So you just put the code right in there. You should change that line to <body onload="moveit(0)"> and that should fix your problems.

You specify with this line

<body onload="javascript:moveit(200)">

that you want it to start at 200 pixels from the left.

Now, that line also has a fundamental problem: you need to know the difference between a javascript URL and a regular javascript statement.

You only use "javascript:" if the browser is expecting a URL. For instance:

<a href="JavaScript:myfunc();">...</a>

The browser is looking for http: or something there, but when it finds javascript:, it knows to execute the code instead of going to a URL.

In something like onload="" or onclick="" or whatever, you *don't* use "javascript:". The browser isn't expecting a URL there, it's expecting javascript code. So you just put the code right in there. You should change that line to

<body onload="moveit(0)">

and that should fix your problems.
