There's a secret error somewhere in your secret code. You need to fix that.

Seriously, look at your question again, remembering that we cannot see your screen, access your computer, or read your mind. How do you expect anyone to be able to help you based on the complete lack of information provided?

Click the green "Improve question" link and update your question to include the relevant parts of your code - for example, where the what variable is declared, how the ynof function is called, etc.

All that does is increment a property on an object. Were you expecting it to do more?

y is y co ordinate so when function is called what which is dom element should go where y is 40

earlier thought what.y=40;

but then changed what.y+=40;

No, there must be more to it. To change coordinates in javascript you set object.style.left or object.style.top for example. You can't just call object.y. So you have other code somewhere that no one else can see that makes the object actually move.

You aren't sharing enough for anyone to help you.
