Image Retreival

[WhiteTiger]

I'm setting up an image retreval system for my office, and I need a javascript or something to retreve an image every 1/4 a second...it doesn't have a definate file name...the server hosts the image (right now) to the localhost, but will host it to the internet IP that it will be connected to...but I've used a banner rotator, and it doesn't work...I tried setting it to that image, and having it rotate every 10 seconds, and it never gets to downloading the first picture...could anyone help me..

I am currently working on something very similar. I have a web page at

http://www.cse.ucsd.edu/users/chudak

where the marquee image changes every hour. I currently do this via a Korn shell script tied to a cron job that uses sed to parse the html and replace the <img> tag contents.

I'm going to replace it with an applet that rotates the image every 5-10 seconds. I have a working prototype but I am changing it to cause the image to fade in and out.

If you want the code, email me at meadandale@yahoo.com and I will send it to you. Most of it is taken from a book on learning the JFC but I added the multiple image code and the directory searching functionality.
