2 questions:
	* when does right105() get fired? is it onload?
	* have you tried, at the beginning of all your scripts, setting 

	var main_width_variable = 0;

then instead of using return foo, you'd simply do an assignment to the
global variable.


So:


	var main_width_variable = 0;

first function
---------
function right105() {
  if (NS) {
     main_width_variable = window.innerWidth - 105);
          } else {
     main_width_variable =  document.body.clientWidth - 105;
     }
  }

second function
---------
function positionStuff() {
     if(IE) {
          document.all.floater.style.pixelLeft = main_width_variable 
              document.all.floater.style.pixelTop = 134;
            }
     }

There are probably a myriad of ways to do this though. The question is
in what fires what and in what order, I suppose.

HTH,
