Hello, does anyone know why when i call the following function only the third setTimeout works. The function is called using onload:-

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="9" onload = "javascript

ictureloop()">

the function:-

function pictureloop(){
setTimeout("loadPicture('pics/hansel/witch.jpg')",1000);
setTimeout("loadPicture('pics/hansel/witch2.jpg')",1000);
setTimeout("loadPicture('pics/hansel/witch3.jpg')",1000);
}

loadpicture() loads the requested picture into a seperate frame.

Also, if anyone knows how i could incorporate a fade in/fade out effect for each picture that would be cool but not desperately needed.

Cheers

Paul

It should just be onload="pictureloop();" you don't need the "javascript:", that's only for JS call in hrefs. Also all the timeouts are being called virtually at once, try 1000 for the first, then 2000 for the second then 3000 milliseconds for the third.
