Here's the problem:
-I was asked to design a sample page of my work as a contruction business is looking for someone to make their web page. On the web page I was asked to put in 2 seperate banners of pictures of houses they have built all cycling through the different pics (banner one cycles through houses 1-7; banner two cycles through houses 8-14). The problem is, with my code I am only able to make one banner cycle. :tazz:

Here's my code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Cycling Banner Practice</TITLE>
<BODY>
<script>
imgArray = new Array(7);
imgArray[0] = new Image;
imgArray[0].src = "house1.jpg";
imgArray[1] = new Image;
imgArray[1].src = "house2.jpg";
imgArray[2] = new Image
imgArray[2].src = "house3.jpg";
imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house4.jpg";
imgArray[4] = new Image
imgArray[4].src = "house5.jpg";
imgArray[5] = new Image
imgArray[5].src = "house6.jpg";
imgArray[6] = new Image
imgArray[6].src = "house7.jpg";
index = 0;

function cycle ()
{
document.banner.src = imgArray[index].src;
index++;
if (index == 7)
{
index = 0;
}
setTimeout("cycle()",1000);
return;
}
</script>
<HEAD>
<BODY onLoad = "cycle();">
<CENTER>
<IMG SRC = "house1.jpg"
NAME = "banner"
WIDTH = 250

HEIGHT = 250>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Cycling Banner Practice</TITLE>
<BODY>
<script>
imgArray = new Array(7);
imgArray[0] = new Image;
imgArray[0].src = "house8.jpg";
imgArray[1] = new Image;
imgArray[1].src = "house9.jpg";
imgArray[2] = new Image
imgArray[2].src = "house10.jpg";
imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house11.jpg";
imgArray[4] = new Image
imgArray[4].src = "house12.jpg";
imgArray[5] = new Image
imgArray[5].src = "house13.jpg";
imgArray[6] = new Image
imgArray[6].src = "house14.jpg";
index = 0;

function cycle ()
{
document.banner.src = imgArray[index].src;
index++;
if (index == 7)
{
index = 0;
}
setTimeout("cycle()",1000);
return;
}
</script>
<HEAD>
<BODY onLoad = "cycle();">
<CENTER>
<IMG SRC = "house8.jpg"
NAME = "banner"
WIDTH = 250

HEIGHT = 250>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks alot for any help, I appreciate it.

this is what u had in seperate scripts respectively

imgArray = new Array(7);
imgArray[0] = new Image;
imgArray[0].src = "house1.jpg";
imgArray[1] = new Image;
imgArray[1].src = "house2.jpg";
imgArray[2] = new Image
imgArray[2].src = "house3.jpg";
imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house4.jpg";
imgArray[4] = new Image
imgArray[4].src = "house5.jpg";
imgArray[5] = new Image
imgArray[5].src = "house6.jpg";
imgArray[6] = new Image
imgArray[6].src = "house7.jpg";

and 

imgArray = new Array(7);
imgArray[0] = new Image;
imgArray[0].src = "house8.jpg";
imgArray[1] = new Image;
imgArray[1].src = "house9.jpg";
imgArray[2] = new Image
imgArray[2].src = "house10.jpg";
imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house11.jpg";
imgArray[4] = new Image
imgArray[4].src = "house12.jpg";
imgArray[5] = new Image
imgArray[5].src = "house13.jpg";
imgArray[6] = new Image
imgArray[6].src = "house14.jpg";

well see u are overwriting the array's value at say postion 3

imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house4.jpg";


imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house11.jpg";


*********************************
to make it work heres what i would do

Hey Stu, thanks alot for your reply. I remade the scripting with what I *thought* you said, but I believe that there must be something I am misunderstanding because it's not cycling them. What I changed was the array numbers in the second array and the addition to the cycles. Thanks alot for any help you have to offer.

Cody

Oh yeah, here's the new scripting:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Cycling Banner Practice</TITLE>
<BODY>
<script>
imgArray = new Array(7);
imgArray[0] = new Image;
imgArray[0].src = "house1.jpg";
imgArray[1] = new Image;
imgArray[1].src = "house2.jpg";
imgArray[2] = new Image
imgArray[2].src = "house3.jpg";
imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house4.jpg";
imgArray[4] = new Image
imgArray[4].src = "house5.jpg";
imgArray[5] = new Image
imgArray[5].src = "house6.jpg";
imgArray[6] = new Image
imgArray[6].src = "house7.jpg";
index = 0;

function cycle1 ()
{
document.banner.src = imgArray[index].src;
index++;
if (index == 7)
{
index = 0;
}
setTimeout("cycle1()",1000);
return;
}
</script>
<HEAD>
<BODY onLoad = "cycle1();">
<CENTER>
<IMG SRC = "house1.jpg"
NAME = "banner"
WIDTH = 250

HEIGHT = 250>
</CENTER>
</BODY>
</HTML>

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Cycling Banner Practice</TITLE>
<BODY>
<script>
imgArray = new Array(7);
imgArray[7] = new Image;
imgArray[7].src = "house8.jpg";
imgArray[8] = new Image;
imgArray[8].src = "house9.jpg";
imgArray[9] = new Image
imgArray[9].src = "house10.jpg";
imgArray[10] = new Image
imgArray[10].src = "house11.jpg";
imgArray[11] = new Image
imgArray[11].src = "house12.jpg";
imgArray[12] = new Image
imgArray[12].src = "house13.jpg";
imgArray[13] = new Image
imgArray[13].src = "house14.jpg";
index = 1;

function cycle2 ()
{
document.banner2.src = imgArray[index].src;
index++;
if (index == 7)
{
index = 1;
}
setTimeout("cycle2()",1000);
return;
}
</script>
<HEAD>
<BODY onLoad = "cycle2();">
<CENTER>
<IMG SRC = "house8.jpg"
NAME = "banner2"
WIDTH = 250

HEIGHT = 250>
</CENTER>
</BODY>

if you want to be able to run both at the same time then u have to figure out a way on displaying them,

if thats not what u doing tehn post back

but here is revised code

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Cycling Banner Practice</TITLE>
<BODY>

<script TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--

imgArray = new Array(7);
imgArray2 = new Array(7);
imgArray[0] = new Image;
imgArray[0].src = "house1.jpg";
imgArray[1] = new Image;
imgArray[1].src = "house2.jpg";
imgArray[2] = new Image
imgArray[2].src = "house3.jpg";
imgArray[3] = new Image
imgArray[3].src = "house4.jpg";
imgArray[4] = new Image
imgArray[4].src = "house5.jpg";
imgArray[5] = new Image
imgArray[5].src = "house6.jpg";
imgArray[6] = new Image
imgArray[6].src = "house7.jpg";

imgArray2 = new Array(7);
imgArray2[0] = new Image;
imgArray2[0].src = "house8.jpg";
imgArray2[1] = new Image;
imgArray2[1].src = "house9.jpg";
imgArray2[2] = new Image
imgArray2[2].src = "house10.jpg";
imgArray2[3] = new Image
imgArray2[3].src = "house11.jpg";
imgArray2[4] = new Image
imgArray2[4].src = "house12.jpg";
imgArray2[5] = new Image
imgArray2[5].src = "house13.jpg";
imgArray2[6] = new Image
imgArray2[6].src = "house14.jpg";


//to be used for imgArray in cycle1()
index = 0;
//to be used for imgArray2 in cycle2()
index2 = 0;


function cycle1() 
    {
       //put in code to display images with the loop
    }

function cycle2() 
    {
     //put in code to display images with the loop
    }



//-->
</SCRIPT>

//this is where the long happens: if u want both 2 run at same time
// then this is good if not then post back

// google "Body onLoad" for more info on it
<BODY onLoad = "cycle1();cycle2()">

</BODY>
</HTML>

Hey Stu,

I'm not exactly sure where to start inserting the code and where to stop in the parts where you typed to insert the scripting code. I'm not really very good in JAVA or any other programming language, I just started, so I'm getting a little lost. Thank you so much for all the help that you are giving me, I appologize if I'm troubling you at all.

Thanks again.

imgArray[0] = new Image;
imgArray[0].src = "house1.jpg";
imgArray[1] = new Image;
imgArray[1].src = "house2.jpg";

//to be used for imgArray in cycle1()
index = 0;

function cycle1() 
   {
      document.banner.src = imgArray[index].src;
      index++;
      if (index == 7)
      {
      index = 0;
       }
   }

//-->
</SCRIPT>

//this is where the long happens: if u want both 2 run at same time
// then this is good if not then post back

// google "Body onLoad" for more info on it
<BODY onLoad = "cycle1()">

here are a couple of alternate ideas

1. Front Page will generate multiple banners

2. use frames(one banner per frame). frames, however, are not supported by all browsers.
