I'm trying to figure out a method of creating a web page, probably using a table or frames, where images will cycle through the window"..has anyone done this? Will it require a perl script or http refresh or what?

There will be about a dozen .jpg files that I want to flash onto the screen at a preset interval between each one.

ps
I want to maintain compatibility back to netscape 3 so any DHTML is out..

More info.....

Not sure I am clear on what exactly you are wanting to happen...

Do you want a 'flashcard' effect where one pic shows up, then is gone, then another pic shows up in it's place....?

Or are you wanting all pics to show up at same time changing places?

(probably need to use Java or Javascript.. may want to check out http://www.freecode.com)

Bingo!

Try the following for some pre-canned java applets to do the trick http://www.aota.net/ubb/wink.gif

Any of the above probably contain a script that you are wanting and/or can lead you to some java related forums to ask for it http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

Thanks Deb, it looks like just what the doctor ordered

You can also use frames to do this, and in the source for that particular frame insert a refresh tag:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=/pic2.html">

where pic2.html is the name of the next page, and so on. The 5 is how many seconds you want the page to wait. Of course, the page would contain nothing more than an image reference.

I also know how to do this in javascript, but Netscape 4.08 won't do it. I probably am not doing it right, though http://www.aota.net/ubb/smile.gif

But the above will work.
