Question

This code does not seem to run well: http://jsfiddle.net/5GEru/1/

var left = 0;
function mouvement(){
    var bouger = document.getElementById("bouge");    
    bouger.style.left= left;
    left++;

    mouvement();

}
window.onload = mouvement();​

The variable increments itself but somehow the left value does not get reapplied everytime the function is run. it remains at the initial 0.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your tips guys!

You’re confusing the browser with invalid CSS. The browser is looking for a unit.

Try:

bouger.style.left = left + "px";
