Sequential JPGs?

Call me ignorant.
How does one go about showing a sequence of JPG pictures with a timed
interval, then repeating "forever" (at least as long as one is on that
page)?
Thanks.

You use Javascript.

Search the web for the numerous examples via Google.

Search this NG's archive for more.

Evern better, learn yourself some Javascript.

Do NOT use jQuery.

Do not ask us to do your homework.

273.000.000 hits.

Be welcome to come back if there are no hints in any of these.

btw, this NG is not a paid helpdesk, and while many regulars are eager to
help, you should show you have tried to do your homework yourself, and show
where in your code you get stuck.

Other peoples code you find on the web should not be used for blind
implementation, but are fine for learning and for understanding.

In the same way as is commonly used for clocks, in cases where the
digits are not characters but graphics. Consider, for example,

<http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-anclk.htm#Dig>.

You may need View Source to see Body onload and to find function
SetDial().



TO ALL : My Web site may move. If so, a search for both Mer1yn and
JavaSkript (with two typos corrected) should find it easily enough, once
the search engine has noticed its new location.

TO ALL: Safari 6 is defenestrated.

While I receive only the 3 Belgian [Flemish] channels on my glasfiber
connection, [in French just TV5monde and Arte] and RTBF is wellknown to me,
RTBF is a primarily a "bloody" common usenet abbreviation.

Not a helpful attitude. It is the quality of the hits that matters, not
the mere quantity.

One gets better results, on the average, with

Indeed, John, but a NG is not a paid or unpaid helpdesk.

Not if the OP states:
"I have done some searching and have found no examples."

Pointing out that there are 273 hits should inform the OP that he did not
even did "some searching". That might be helpful in itself.

Not to diminish your wide expertise, sorcerer John-Merlyn, but it is more
helpful to learn a sorcerer apprentice to view the total availability when
searching, and let him make his one mistakes.

True. I have learned more by mistakes than by lucky guesses.

Here is an example on a quick site I did a little while ago:

<http://ht2012.org>

The relevant code:

You should read Section 1.2 of the newsgroup FAQ, "What questions are
on-topic for comp.lang.javascript?", and see what is in it.

You should read Section 1.3 of the newsgroup FAQ, "What should I do
before posting to comp.lang.javascript?", and see what is not in it.

You should read Section 1.4 of the newsgroup FAQ.

Questions from those with little idea of what they are doing are a
fertile source of interesting newsgroup threads; I expect GW would
agree. Those who do not like a question, and have nothing useful to
answer, should refrain from answering.



Unless a searcher is adept at searching, or already knows the answer, he
is nowadays extremely likely to get far too many hits to look through,
with no particular reason to believe that the first hits shown are
relevant, or that the first relevant ones are good. The initial advice
given here may be little better; but bad advice in News is soon
criticised in the light of current knowledge.

Sure it is. And some people are not suited for it. You might be
one of them.

Oh? Is that me?

Yes, I do agree. I have no problem with questions like that
provided the person is willing to do his work. He may have to read
some links, practice a bit, etc. and then ask more directed questions
later. I have asked many questions, but I have also done a lot of
searching, reading, and experimenting myself.

I most definitely agree with "Those who do not like a question,
and have nothing useful to answer, should refrain from answering." For
one thing, it can appear to the casual observer that the question has
been answered when in fact, it has not.

Quite. There is a lot of noise on the Web. This makes it all
too easy to drown in data. Sometimes, I post a basic question asking
for some orientation. A basic example is sometimes all it takes to
get me moving forward whereas without that example, I would be unable
to proceed. It might still be difficult, but at least I now have some
orientation and can evaluate other data more easily.

Vocabulary is a big issue. If you do not know that something
exists or what it is called, it is hard to search the Web for it.
Getting that vocabulary from those who already know can be a big help.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko

You both seem to forget [and I hate to admit this] I helped the OP to the
search-word "slideshow", opening an multimillion web presense answering his
OQ.

And I repeat, a NG is not a paid or unpaid helpdesk. This in the sense that
OP should not claim the right to an answer within stipulated confines of
their Q.

Helping by [just] providing or worse "recommending a script" [Q in an
unrelated posting here], even if legitimate, is something that should be
kept out of this NG.

I was writing in general.

Sure, there is no right. Our pay is different. We help
colleagues so that we can expect to get help ourselves at other times.

I do not know what you mean by "recommending a script" so I can
not reply to this.
