    Can Somebody Check This?

    I'm trying to create a script that will cycle through a bunch of pics
    (1.jpg, 2.jpg, and so on up to 429.jpg) to make a movie. However, I
    can't get it to work. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Here it is...

    <html>

    <head>

    <script>
    pics = new Array()
    curPic = 0

    preLoad() {
    for (i=0; i <= 429; i++) {
    pics[i] = new Image()
    pics[i].src = i + ".jpg"
    }
    }

    dispPic() {
    document.images['moviePic'].src = curPic + ".jpg"
    curPic++
    setTimeout("dis pPic()", 20)
    }
    </script>

    </head>

    <body>

    <body onload="preLoad (); dispPic()">

    <img src="1.jpg" name="moviePic" width="640" height="416">

    </body>

    </html>

      Functions are declared with the word "function"
      Preloading should be done BEFORE the onload=""
      20 ms could be to short for some systems

      [declare script type]
      [use the preloaded entity]
      [declare curPic with a var.]
      [No double <body>]
      [declare "px" in sizes]


      <html>
      <head>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      var pics = new Array()
      var curPic = 0

      for (i=0; i <= 429; i++) {
      pics[i] = new Image()
      pics[i].src = i + ".jpg"
      }

      function dispPic() {
      document.images['moviePic'].src = pics[curPic++].src
      setTimeout("dis pPic()", 20)
      }
      </script>
      </head>
      <body onload="dispPic ()">
      <img src="1.jpg" name="moviePic" width="640px" height="416px">
      </body>
      </html>

      not tested, btw.

          First time I 've seen units declared in simple width and height attributes.
          Are you not confused with widths and heights coming from css? But I tried
          and found it works (tested in IE6)!
          How far backward compatible is this? I 'm sure this wasn't necessary before.

              You are correct: it wasn't and isn't necessary. In fact, I believe it's
              erroneous.

              The width and height attributes for the IMG element are of type "Length".
              Length may either be a "Pixel" value or a percentage. Therefore,
              width="640" is automatically stating 640 pixels. No units are necessary,
              and are probably incorrect if used.

                  What happens when you reach 429?

                      Specifying the default in most languages is rarely incorrect even if unnecessary.
                      It just helps to make the information very specific. HTML and its variants
                      specify that "px" is a legitimate qualifier; why should it be incorrect to use it?

                          No it doesn't.
                          <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.6>
                          The valid values of an HTML length is either pixels (a plain number) or
                          percentages (a number with "%" after).

                          Units like "px" are CSS, not HTML. You can use them in they style tag,
                          but that is CSS content. It should not be used in the width property
                          (but one should use CSS instead of the width property in any case -
                          it's even deprecated on HR, TD, TH, and PRE elements).

                              You're right - I stand corrected. What a Babel we've got here!

                                  That's one of the Bad Things about IE for developers:
                                  It turns every sh*t into gold.
