Java script virgin - help please

I am a newbie also but if the text shows on the page it looks as though your
pasted script should be enclosed by <script> ............. </script>

Probably way off mark but someone cleverer will help you out in this group.

You are missing the script tags, which the source site didn't include with
the script.

| Hello. I attempted to use my first java script but it is not working for
| some reason.
| The script is to rotate pics and I found it here:
| http://www.laughland.biz/javascript.php?scid=3
| I put it within the <head> section in HTML view - like the script writer and
| FP help files said to do. However this is what my sorry page looks like:)
| http://www.yoursourceinjapan.com/testing.htm
| Can someone look at the code and tell me what I am doing wrong?
| Thanks very much
| Kevin

Thanks very much guys. I have proceeded but am still not there yet:) Can you
take a look and see what I am doing wrong now? I have added their script
slightly different 2 ways to show you both methods. 1 I did Insert - Web
Component - pasted the code there and the other I inserted code in html view
(which for some reason automatically changes my< and > to :lt)
Also in the <head> code I took a guess and added .jpg in place of .gif -
because this is what I am using.
I have played with the code for a few hours now and still can't get it to
work. Again I am sure it is something simple:)
Thanks again
and Happy New Year (I am in Japan now and am over an hour into the new
year - and spending my time battling Java - haha)

I could be wrong because I am not a javascript expert, but should '< script
language="javascript">' be in the "body" section of the page? It's being
displayed as text.

I made those changes and it did work to get the code back behind the scenes.
However now I can't get the code to bring up the pictures.
I have tried the following (but nothing works)
<script language="javascript">ShowImg();</script>
<script language="javascript">ShowImg(0,1,2);</script>
<script
language="javascript">ShowImg(images/web9.jpg,images/web10.jpg,images/web11.
jpg);</script>
<script
language="javascript">ShowImg(images[0],images[1],images[2]);</script>
<script
language="javascript">ShowImg(images[images/web9.jpg],images[images/web10.jp
g],images[images/web11.jpg]);</script>

In each case when I hit the "preview" it says I have script error - either
'object expected' or '"images" is undefined'
Also I don't know if it is related but I keep getting these: &nbsp; - I
delete them and then go back to the html and they are back. I have always
has them so I don't think they are the problem.
Getting closer:)
I do appreciate all your help

no these tags can go in either - it is probably the space between '<' and
'script' (< script) rather than <script (no space)

Stefan B Rusynko

In you page change
<script language="javascript">ShowImg(images[images/web9.jpg],images[images/web10.jpg],images[images/web11.jpg]);</script>
to
<script language="javascript">ShowImg();</script>
