Question

I’m trying to create a function that will execute on a click, on the condition that a variable is set to 0;

However, the function will not execute, even if the variable is set to 0.
(I am using jquery)

var menuVisible = 0 ;
$('#links').click(function(){ 
    if (menuVisible = 0)
    {
        $('#subMenu').show("slow") ;
        menuVisible = 1 ;
    }
});

I’m testing the value of the variable ‘MenuVisible’ with alert, and it is indeed ‘0’. So, why won’t the function execute ?

This is just a suggestion, the solutions offered should have worked.
If indeed you wanted to create a “on click” open/close situation (that is my assumption from your code so don’t mind it if it is wrong ) then instead of that variable and hide()/show() you should use the toggle() function. Have fun 🙂
