slider.subscribe("slideEnd", function() {
               ChangeSeek();
            });

    var Event = YAHOO.util.Event,
        Dom   = YAHOO.util.Dom,
        lang  = YAHOO.lang,

The script actually caters for executing other functions so the new problem is getting it to recognise the .vbs file

[code] slider.subscribe("slideEnd", function() {
ChangeSeek();
});[/code]

The other scripts are assigned at the start

[code]
var Event = YAHOO.util.Event,
Dom = YAHOO.util.Dom,
lang = YAHOO.lang,
[/code]

and inside the script they are assigned to a namespace

I have posted the question [url=http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-javascript/message/35786]here[/url] it's driving me crazy not being able to finalise the script :cry: :(

Yeah it sort of make sense.
I guessed it was "nested" so that it didn't have direct access to the document anymore
I'll look closer at the subscribe code and see if i can untangle it
Thanks.

In this case a new function is being created and passed into the "subscribe" function in one go, giving you the "});" notation. This is something which you can do in javascript but I've never seen in any other language. I believe the "subscribe" function is then registering the function that you pass in to be fired by the relevant events. Depending on how the "subscribe" function works, you should be able to register multiple functions to the same event by calling "subscribe" twice. If this is not the case then you'll need to make sure that at the end of the first function you call the second function. Does this help/make sense?

you might find one already made try these places.

I have one javascript function executing from an event but I need to trigger an event on another element from that function once the new value is set

I pinched the javascript from a website and it looks different than I'm used to so that may have something to do with it?

Original code is [url=http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/examples/slider/slider-ticks.html]here[/url]
I don't understand the format of the code "});" ?
I need to trigger the other event at the end of this section
[code]slider.subscribe("change", function(offsetFromStart) {[/code]
