Hello,
I am getting the above error on http://aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/

This is the code from the page. It works in mozilla but not in ie. Can anyone help.

Cheers

var counter1 = 0;
function anim1(destination,linkto, newimage,maxadds)
{
i = document.getElementById(destination);
i.src = img1[counter1].src;
j = document.getElementById(linkto);
j.href = img1[counter1].href;
counter1++;
if(counter1 == 4)
{
counter1 = 0; //sets the counter value to 0
}
}
var start;
var img1 = new Array(4);
img1[0] = new Image();
img1[0].src = 'http://aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/images/aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/advert1.jpg';
img1[0].href = 'http://www.google.com';
img1[1] = new Image();
img1[1].src = 'http://aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/images/aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/advert2.jpg';
img1[1].href = 'http://www.yahoo.com';
img1[2] = new Image();
img1[2].src = 'http://aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/images/aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/advert3.jpg';
img1[2].href = 'http://www.msn.co.uk';
img1[3] = new Image();
img1[3].src = 'http://aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/images/aconomy.b-shop.co.uk/advert4.jpg';
img1[3].href = 'http://www.excite.com';


then this calls the function

start = setInterval("anim1('group1img','group1link','1','4 ')", 2000);
group1img is the id tag of the image
group1link is the id tag of the link.

It's failing when you try to add the href attribute. You can normally add your own attributes to an element. Maybe try either adding the href before the source, just in case it's because the image hasn't finished loading. Or try using the extended syntax: As a side issue it looks like your code would be better if the links weere in an array instead of repeating the code four times.

Cheers. Its works now. Still didn't let me use the href. so i have it setting the alt attribute.

I will put the links into an array. Thanks for the idea.

Personally I'd use the "title" attribute. I did a little experimenting and you can add other attributes, just not one called "href". So "specialHref" is okay, very odd...
