3rd party script help

[updwebmaster]

I have a third party script for my navbar. This is the script:

// (C) 2001 www.CodeLifter.com
// http://www.codelifter.com
// Free for all users, but leave in this header.

// Set Show to "yes" to show the menu on start-up.
// Set Show to "no" to show the selector on start-up.

Show ="yes";

// Set OffX in pixels to a negative number 
// somewhat larger than the width of the menu.

var OffX = -300;

// Set the PosX and PosY variables
// to the location on the screen where the
// menu should position (in pixels) when stopped.

var PosX =  7;
var PosY =  100;

// Usually, use the settings shown; but you can
// change the speed and the increment of motion
// across the screen, below.

var speed        = 2;
var increment    = 2;
var incrementNS4 = 5; // for slower NS4 browsers

// do not edit below this line
// ===========================

var is_NS = navigator.appName=="Netscape";
var is_Ver = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
var is_NS4 = is_NS&&is_Ver>=4&&is_Ver<5;
var is_NS5up = is_NS&&is_Ver>=5;

var MenuX=OffX;
var SelX=PosX;
var sPosX=PosX;
var sOffX=OffX;

if (Show=="yes"){
sPosX=OffX;
sOffX=PosX;
MenuX=sOffX;
SelX=sPosX;
}

if (is_NS4){
increment=incrementNS4;
Lq="document.layers.";
Sq="";
eval(Lq+'menuSelect'+Sq+'.left=sPosX');
eval(Lq+'menuShow'+Sq+'.left=sOffX');
eval(Lq+'menuSelect'+Sq+'.top=PosY');
eval(Lq+'menuShow'+Sq+'.top=PosY');
}else{
Lq="document.all.";
Sq=".style";
document.getElementById('menuSelect').style.left=sPosX+"px";
document.getElementById('menuShow').style.left=sOffX+"px";
document.getElementById('menuSelect').style.top=PosY+"px";
document.getElementById('menuShow').style.top=PosY+"px";
}  

function moveOnMenu(){
if (MenuX<PosX){ 
MenuX=MenuX+increment;
if (is_NS5up){
document.getElementById('menuShow').style.left=MenuX+"px";
}else{
eval(Lq+'menuShow'+Sq+'.left=MenuX');
}
setTimeout('moveOnMenu()',speed);
}
}

function moveOffMenu(){
if (MenuX>OffX){ 
MenuX=MenuX-increment;
if (is_NS5up){
document.getElementById('menuShow').style.left=MenuX+"px";
}else{
eval(Lq+'menuShow'+Sq+'.left=MenuX');
}
setTimeout('moveOffMenu()',speed);
}
}

function moveOffSelector(){
if (SelX>OffX){ 
SelX=SelX-increment;
if (is_NS5up){
document.getElementById('menuSelect').style.left=SelX+"px";
}else{
eval(Lq+'menuSelect'+Sq+'.left=SelX');
}
setTimeout('moveOffSelector()',speed);
}
}

function moveOnSelector(){
if (SelX<PosX){ 
SelX=SelX+increment;
if (is_NS5up){
document.getElementById('menuSelect').style.left=SelX+"px";
}else{
eval(Lq+'menuSelect'+Sq+'.left=SelX');
}
setTimeout('moveOnSelector()',speed);
}
}

The problem is that when I change the Show variable to "no", the whole script stops working. Can anyone help?

[phpQuestioner]

Do you have your full code or a link to the original script - I need to see what it is doing.

Do you have your full code or a link to the original script - I need to see what it is doing.

Here's the link: http://codelifter.com/main/javascript/amazingglidermenu.html

[phpQuestioner]

you may have accidentally erased some code or something; because I changed it to "no" and it worked fine:

Script:     Amazing Glide-In Menu Script

Functions:  When an icon is clicked, this script glides in
            a menu from screen-left.  Clicking on the same
            icon in the menu causes it to slide off the
            screen, with the triggering icon sliding back
            in.  The script can be set to have either the
            trigger icon or the menu show on start-up; and
            the menu and trigger icon positions can be set
            via script variables. An easy install, and a
            cool effect.

Browsers:   IE4-6,NS4-6
            (some limited functionality in NS4)

This is another case where the script is actually fairly
easy to install and set up, but the simplest way to present
it is in a full-page working demo. Copy and paste this
entire selection into a blank page. Follow the intructions
commented into the script.

[updwebmaster]

the variables that I changed were the PosX, PosY, speed, increment, and OffX. Aside from Show.

[phpQuestioner]

it still should work - try the code below - I altered all the variables that you said you altered and it still worked.

[updwebmaster]

Visit my website and see: http://www.uberpilotdudes.com/home.htm . I currently have the Show variable to "no"

[phpQuestioner]

ok - I got it to work - I think it was because the External JS was in the head and not in the body. your going to have to reposition the menu now - but hey; at least I got it working for you - right?
