Html Help. turn an animation into a slide show

[freezetyle]

Alright, i know from surfing these boards we have ALOT for computer people. and for that group of people coding can be fun!

I am a total newb at html and need some of you L33t H4x0r's to help me out with a project.

SO we are learning about doing loops to create slide shows. we were given an example of an animations as seen here Homer animation (http://web.uvic.ca/~jpe/animation.html)

and we were asked too use the base of that code and turn it into a slide show with our own photos and a little bit of text underneath to explain the picture.

They told us to make changes to the function "initImages" and "Function animate"

from what i have seen by looking on webpages i need to have something like this

<p><script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!-- HIDE

var num=1
img1 = new Image ()
img1.src = "pic1.jpg"
img2 = new Image ()
img2.src = "pic2.jpg"
img3 = new Image ()
img3.src = "pic3.jpg"
img4 = new Image ()
img4.src = "pic4.jpg"
img5 = new Image ()
img5.src = "pic5.jpg

text1 = "Seoul, South Korea"
text2 = "Koh Phi Phi, Thailand"
text3 = "Koh Tao, Thailand"
text4 = "Sukhothai, Thailand"
text5 = "Ankor Wat skyline, Cambodia"

var step=1
function slideit(){

if (!document.images)
return
document.images.slide.src=eval("pic"+step+".jpg")
if (step<5)
step++
else
step=1
//call function "slideit()" every 2.5 seconds
setTimeout("slideit()",2500)
}
slideit()

var counter = 0
var timer
var imgs = new Array()
var activitymonitor=0






function runit() {
if (activitymonitor==0){
activitymonitor=1
initImages()
animate()
}
}


function stopit() {
clearTimeout(timer)
activitymonitor=0
}


// STOP HIDING --></script></p>

<CENTER>
<form NAME="looper">
<p><img SRC="pic1.JPG" ALIGN="bottom" name="slide"><br>
<input TYPE="button" NAME="Button" VALUE=" Stop " onclick="stopit()"> <input
TYPE="button" NAME="Button" VALUE=" Begin your Adventure " onclick="runit()"> </p>
</form>

i can't really see where i have gone wrong. maybe the order of events? or did i forget to change an element? suggestions?
