Well for starters I would change your:

vertClicker==0

vertClicker==1

to:

vartClicker=="0 "

and

vertClicker=="1 "

the reason for this is the the if...else etc. statements are looking for the variables 0 and 1 also i would do it to your:

vertClicker=1;

and

vertClicker=0;

You've got Javascript errors, e.g. loadSelected() and Class are both not defined. In IE, it complains of Object Expected (which I presume to be loadSelected()) and Event being undefined.

interesting well thanks for the help i'll see what i can do with it... its odd that the code for the horizontal worked but not the vertical. Well at least odd to me but then again im not much of a JS person.

Thanks for the help though :)
