javascript not working in IE

javascipt not working in explorer

[zzz477629]

hi, I'm very new to using javascript. I have a small bit I am using on my website and for some reason the swap image rotator script works in safari and firefox but will not work in internet explorer. I have no idea how to fix this. the script is as follows:

<script language="JavaScript">
 
 var ImageArr1 = new Array("img1.jpg","img2.gif","img3.jpg");
 var ImageHolder1 = document.getElementById('img1');
 
 function RotateImages(whichHolder,Start)
 {
 var a = eval("ImageArr"+whichHolder);
 var b = eval("ImageHolder"+whichHolder);
 if(Start>=a.length)
 Start=0;
 b.src = a[Start];
 window.setTimeout("RotateImages("+whichHolder+","+(Start+1)+")",5000);
 }
 
 RotateImages(1,0);
 RotateImages(2,0);
 
 </script>

perhaps you need to start with:

<script type="text/javascript">

Try it like this, note you should check the image paths in imageArr2:

<script type="text/javascript">
 
function addThisEvent(el, type, fn) {
    var ename = type.replace(/^on/i,"");
    if (el.attachEvent) { //IE
        el.attachEvent("on"+ ename, function () { return fn.call(el, window.event)}); /*fixes IE's fudging of 'this' in attachEvent*/
    } else if (el.addEventListener) { //Standard
        el.addEventListener(ename, fn, false );
    } else {
        el["on"+ename] = fn;
    }
}
 
function rotateImages(img, arr, start) {
    if(start >= arr.length) {
        start = 0;
    }
    img.src = arr[start];
    window.setTimeout(function () {rotateImages(img, arr, ++start);}, 5000);
}
 
addThisEvent(window, 'load', function () {
    var imageArr1 = ["img1.jpg", "img2.gif", "img3.jpg"],
        imageHolder1 = document.getElementById('img1'),
        imageArr2 = ["img4.jpg", "img3.gif", "img5.jpg"], //set the paths in this array to whatever yours should be
        imageHolder2 = document.getElementById('img2');
    rotateImages(imageHolder1, imageArr1, 0);
    rotateImages(imageHolder2, imageArr2, 0);
});
 
</script>

I used the exact code you posted (changing the images obv) and it still is not displayed at all in Internet Explorer. Still works in the other browsers though.

aside from that....is there a way to get the images to pause on mouseover with that code you posted?
