Re: Newbie Help with loops

Thanks for that, that made sense but i didn't fix the problem.
 However, I did realize the core of the issue was that I shouldn't
have been calling the onclick within the function that was creating
the thumbnails.
So which I solved the issue of why the imageIndex values were getting
messed up, it left me with another problem:
If I'm creating those thumbnail images on the fly, into an array, how
do I know which thumbnail was clicked?  I have built the function to
change the main image, and it works well, but I have to explicitly
tell it what to do for thumb0, thumb1, etc.  I'm trying to write a
function that knows which index was chosen.  I'm probably overlooking
something very simple, but I'm stuck!
thanksbeth
