InI, yeah that's a very good point. Some of my code uses that sort of thing to prevent overloading the browser with too many tasks. You can actually do quite a lot of really cool stuff by implementing more "state" into one's dhtml pages.

That's a cool concept you're using on your wallpaper page. Do you mind if I use the PSPong image in my puzzle? I'll ask Dracusis too. That's a beautiful result, I really like the barbed wire worked into that one.

Yah Bugs, you can use the Image.

Actually, the match isn't finished yet. My bad and a very long story. Although I do intend to finish it one day. Hopefully on my mid-year break (about a month and a half away I think).

That's a really cool script InI.

Looking sweet. Can't wait to see the end results!

Is javascript code re-entrant like that?

I thought that if you had a timer, the code executed on timeout had to run to completion before the next interval would fire, even if one was due to fire?

Also, wouldn't you have to set up multiple timers (setInteval) to create multiple threads?
Even then, I am not sure that the code for a second timeout can execute before the code for the first one has run to completion.

Thanks for the info InI.

I think the stacking of the timeouts is probably more plausible than just not firing.
But still, even if the timeouts are stacked won't the next one have to wait for the first to finish before it can be unstacked and executed?

I understand about skipping frames and re-entrant interupt routines but I am still not convined javascript code can be re-entrant.

I added a skipped variable to your code
if(!flag){
flag = true;
...
...
}else{
skipped++;
}
status = "skipped:" + skipped;


and the value of skipped never went up.
I checked on a P1000 running windows ME and on a P750 Running Windows NT

I even added more setIntervals and the value of skipped never changed.

If javascript code is re-entrant, shouldn't the value of skipped increase?

<edit to add>
Glad you like the FX and 3d animations.
It is because of the animations I am so interested in this thread. I am trying to get the optimum performance across all platforms.

InI, I don't know if you mind if I make a suggestion on your wallpaper page.

First of all, I want to tell you I had great fun making waves by sliding my mouse up and down the thumbnails.

Now, let's say:
I left my mouse pointer on a thumbnail and received a phone call at the same time. So I go down stairs and answer the phone. It turns out that it's my mother and after 10 minutes of teaching, I come back to my computer.... I don't know what would happen. Do you? It'll probably be like having "while(1) string+= ("haha"+string);" in your code, but I am not sure.

Speaking of performance, I don't think having "position=relative" for the thumbnails is a good idea...
