Something like this maybe :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var images = [];
var imgData = [
	{ src:"bir.jpg", title:"bir"},
	{ src:"iki.jpg", title:"iki" },
	{ src:"uc.jpg",  title:"uc" }
];
//Preload images.
for(var i=0; i<imgData.length; i++ ){
	images[i] = new Image();
	images[i].src = imgData[i].src;
}
function slideit(step){
	step = (!step) ? 0 : step%images.length;
	if (!document.images) { return; }
	document.images.slide.src = imgData[step].src;
	document.images.slide.title = imgData[step].title;
	setTimeout(function(){slideit(step+1)}, 2500);
}
onload = function(){
  slideit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="bir.jpg" title="bir" name="slide" width="100" height="56" />
</body>
</html>

Azegurb,

I thought your name looked familiar. :icon_cool:

step = (!step) ? 0 : step%images.length;

I wondered if you might ask about this line. It does two things. Firstly it defaults step to zero if no parameter is passed into the function, and secondly it effects the required "wrap-around" (back to zero). Read the statement as follows:
If step is undefined, then set step to zero, otherwise set step to the remainder after dividing step by the number of elements in the images array.
I will take a look at your other topic and will help if I can.
