rel attribute does not work with rotating image?

Script seems to think the page is still loading, always?!

The rel attribute (XHTML equiv. of target) only works properly after a page has loaded (which in and of itself is a pain in the ass). However I have an iamge rotator that (another script) makes my rel script think the page is ALWAYS loading. Is this a JS bug or a browser bug perhaps?

Does the script write to a window without closing it? That will perpetuate a load.

No, single window solutions in my corner of the universe only. :-)

Might there be multiple calls to a setInterval assignment without a clearInterval in between?

[JAB Creations]

While I have not the slightest clue what they are no I do not have the clear one.

rotateImgObj.start = function() {
for (var i=0; i<rotateImgObjs.length; i++)
rotateImgObjs[i].timer = setInterval(rotateImgObjs[i].animString + ".rotate()", rotateImgObjs[i].speed);
}

[Rambo Tribble]

If that function is called more than once, it could be the source of the problem. On the other hand, if it is only called once, it shouldn't be.

What script are you using to open the new browser windows, JAB Creations?

Here is the magic script which I thought was working just fine IoI...

function externalLinks()
{
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
var map = {external:"_blank",content:"content",border:"border",mplayer:"mplayer",top:"top"};
var anchor, i, target;

for (i=0; anchor=anchors[i++];)
if( anchor.getAttribute("href") && (target=map[anchor.getAttribute("rel")]))
anchor.setAttribute("target", target);

}
window.onload = externalLinks;
