ok I am using the text sliding menu that sits along the left side of browser window for a web site it is one of the snippets in CoffeeCup HTML Editor and it works fine when viewed with IE but no other browser.
In other words it slides down the left side as you scroll down webpage with IE but no other browser.
Any idea?

No one can tell me how to get that DHTML menu to slide in Opera or Firefox or better yet both?

Do you have a url we can look at? Fixed positioning may work, but can't be sure without seeing the page.

I didn't see anything sliding in any browser. I see you already have javascript on the page to handle the sliding, but since it isn't working you can certainly try the code Bruzer suggested.
If you don't care about the menu sliding in IE6 you can avoid using javascript altogether and just add position:fixed styling to the css rule for #slide:

#slide {
position: absolute; /* IE6 will use this because it doesn't understand fixed positioning. */
position: fixed; /* All modern browsers will use this because it comes last */
left: 5px;
top: 5px;
visibility: visible;
}

The one from Dynamic drive doesn't work and the one I have now is from the CoffeeCup HTML editor and works in IE just not with any other browser.
