Preserved Topic: I need a pause between one of my roll-overs:

I have a multi-picture roll-over, and I need some kind of time spacer between the roll-over frames so it actually looks like an aperture closing/opening. Does anyone have a JavaScript line code I can use to do this? Thanks!

yeah what you need is a setTimeout statement.
all a setTimeout does in schedule an event, it works like this

setTimeout('whatYouWantToDo','whenInMs')

the timing is in milliseconds so what you want to do is call them like something like this:

setTimeout('document[nameofimage].src = document[newimage].src','200');

You don't need quotes around the number (it will still work anyway though).

No you do not need them but most people who do this professionally use the convention of wrapping anything that is not a variable in quotes. It's a good practice.

Thanks guys! I'll give it a try and see if it works. I'm a little confused as to where I should put it, (as in before the picture load in the script, or whatever), but if I'm still having problems I'll check back - Thanks again! <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

Hiya Child! Check out this simple example page at http://www.ozones.com/flourish.html - it's a 5 frame animation done using javascript.
