Getting funky errors with a simple for loop, anyone care to help?

Nov 29th, 2006

Hello All,

I have a javascript image preloading script I'm writing, and it basically creates an array called "array_name" which contains the image filenames, and then uses a for loop to assign "array_name"'s elements to another array called "preload". I know my syntax is good, but the firefox javascript inspector is complaining each time I attempt to run this. Can anyone take a look at the code, and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thank You
