Dear Javascript hackers,
I wanted to make a slideshow and I got this script from google. But I find
it somewhat ugly. Can someone give me a better alternative and also explain
what is going on? Thanks a million.
regards,
Girish
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
//set image paths
src = ["image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", "image3.jpg", "image4.jpg",
"image5.jpg", "image6.jpg"]
//set duration for each image
duration = 4;
ads=[]; ct=0;
function switchAd() {
var n=(ct+1)%src.length;
if (ads[n] && (ads[n].complete || ads[n].complete==null)) {
document["Ad_Image"].src = ads[ct=n].src;
}
ads[n=(ct+1)%src.length] = new Image;
ads[n].src = src[n];
setTimeout("switchAd()",duration*1000);
}
function doLink(){
location.href = url[ct];
} onload = function(){
if (document.images)
switchAd();
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<A HREF="javascript:doLink();" onMouseOver="status=url[ct];return true;"
onMouseOut="status=''">
<IMG NAME="Ad_Image" SRC="image1.jpg" BORDER=0>
</A>
