Alright i'm a complete idiot, so bare with me.

This is the code I need to call my script with

<script type="text/javascript" src="dynamicCSS.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (document.getElementById) { // include all feature tests needed
// for your DOM script
createStyleRule("#el", "display:none;");
window.onload = myUnobtrusiveBehavior;
}

function myUnobtrusiveBehavior() {
setElementStyleById("el", "display", "none"); // fallback for IE5/Mac
// ...
</script>
Click to expand...

This is the code that is currenlty calling it/in my header

<style type="text/css" media="screen"></style>
<link type="text/css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/tab.css" />

<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/javascript/tabber.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[//><!]]></script>

</head>

Click to expand...

How do I do this? The script I'm trying to modify is the tabber.js one
