Image array setInterval

I wanna put some images on my page that change everyfew seconds or so. The problem is that when the "slideshow" begins the veryfirst image is a blank and then it goes into the show. How do I get rid of the first blank?
Heres the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>
 
<head>

<title>HomeArray</title>
 
</head>
 
<body onLoad="slideshow()">
 
<script language="JavaScript">
 
pix = new Array();
 
pix[0] = "cat.jpg";

pix[1] = "cat1.jpg";

pix[2] = "cat2.jpg";

pix[3] = "cat3.jpg";
 
var i = 0;
 
function slideshow(){

setInterval("change()", 1000);

}
 
function change(){

document.images.pic.src = pix[i];

i = i + 1;

if (i > (pix.length-1)) {i = 0} 

}
 
</script>
 
<DIV style="position: absolute; top:00px; left:00px; border:0px solid brown;">

<img name="pic" src=change() width=308>

</DIV>
 
</body>
 
</html>

Hi,

When the slideshow() function is called it does not show an image until after the 1000ms timeout has completed. Someone may correct me but I do not think that javascript can be used in the src attribute of an image.

There are two things that you can consider here, firstly assign an image file as the source of the image tag:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<img name="pic" src="cat.jpg" width=308>

With the code as it this would cause the first image to be displayed for two seconds and then for the images to rotate each second after that.

Specifying an image file as the source of the image is also recommended as this would mean that people without javascript enabled would still see an image.
