The timeout before a new image appears should be regular, but... it is
not.(Perhaps because the image is in a table?) Does anyone have a
suggestion how to improve this script? Or an alternative script.

Thanks, Luc

The reason it is not regular is becuase the images take a different
time to load, and therefore there isn't a constant 3 seconds between
them, there's 3 seconds + time taken for next image to download.

Preload the images (see any preloading script e.g. x=new
Image();x.src="imageurl" ) and then just call RollPics() with a
setInterval of 3000 or use setTimeout() in the end of RollPics.

Hello Jim

Even when the images are cached, the interval isn't regular (the images
are sometimes shown to short in NN4.5 on the macintosh), for an example go

But that doesn't effect the actual problem preloading was not the key
part of the change I suggested, the change was purely removing it from
the onLoad event, have it independant of it.

Like Jim stated. An example how to do this, you can find at:
