I want the green square to move over to the edge of the small blue square and then straight down then over to the left.

I added a bit to make the square move down. You should be able to add the third and fourth bit to finish it. //calling the function in window.onload to make sure the HTML is loaded window.onload = function() { var hpos = 0; var vpos = 0; var st = 1; var box = document.getElementById('box'); var t = setInterval(move, 5); function move() { if (st==1){ if(hpos <100) { hpos += 1; box.style.left = hpos+'px'; } else { st=2; } } if (st==2){ if(vpos <100) { vpos += 1; box.style.top = vpos+'px'; } else { st=3; } } } }

function move() { if(pos >= 150) { clearInterval(t); } else { pos += 1; box.style.left = pos+"px"; } }
