    dynamic text using settimeout

    Hi,

    I am trying to create a header on a page that switches between 7 textitems
    in an array.
    using this code:

    <script language="JavaS cript">
    season=new Array("summer", "winter","fall" ,"spring",")
    i=0
    function raise()
    {
    setTimeout('i=i +1',2000);
    if(i>4){i=0}
    }
    </script>

    </head>

    <body onLoad="raise() ">
    <script language="JavaS cript">

    document.write( season[i]);
    </script>

    can anybody please explain me why this doesnot work.

    greets,

    Sybolt

      look at setInterval, setTimeout only runs once. It still won't work the way
      I think you want it to because the document.write only executes when the
      page is rendered.

      Also, the variables in the setTimeout shouldn't be quoted

      Start over... Post it up.

      Look at: innerHTML and % (modulo arithmetic)

          You asked that same question 6 days ago, with a lot of reply. It should
          help you enough to get it working.
