setTimeout with getElementByID problems in IE

@saulssOct 19.2005 — #...sorry for this post, please remove

@saulssOct 19.2005 — #every time u are running the animate() function, in ur case every 0.025 of a second u are trying to modify

[CODE]	document.getElementById('nos').style.backgroundImage = 'url("graphics/nos.gif")';
 document.getElementById('nos').style.backgroundRepeat = 'repeat-y';
 document.getElementById('nos').style.backgroundPosition = '50% '+m+'px';[/CODE]

(lots of memory being wasted)

u dont really need to modyfy the url of fhe image and the background repeat property do u?

well i u separate it in two parts so that one executes only once like this...

[CODE]
 ...
 m=0;
 function getReady()
 {
 document.getElementById('nos').style.backgroundImage = 'url("graphics/nos.gif")';
 document.getElementById('nos').style.backgroundRepeat = 'repeat-y';
 }
 function animate(){
 document.getElementById('nos').style.backgroundPosition = '50% '+m+'px';
 m--;
 setTimeout("animate()",25);
 }
 //-->
 </script>
 
 </head>
 
 <body onload="getReady();animate();">
 ...[/CODE]

it would be more efficient.

but it still consumes lots of memory, try changing the m-- and the line after it to something like

[CODE]	m-=4;
 setTimeout("animate()",100);[/CODE]

so that it doesnt have to run so often, and still get sort of the same result.

but still i dont thinks its very efficient :p

@ATBSauthorOct 20.2005 — #Thanks for the help. You're right about the assignment. I made that change and it still flickers in IE. Changing the pixel increment and timing makes it too choppy.

I guess Flash is the way to go, eh?

Thanks again for the help saulss
