I have a Slide show which consists of an HTML document and an external javascript file. The slide show is at "
Each week, I feature different slides. Currently, I update the external file with the new files and then update the html document with the beginning slide.

What I want to do is get rid of having to change the beginning slide in the HTML each week. Can I just add a variable to my external file and call for it in my HTML file? Could you help me with the proper script?

The external file is as follows:

myPix = new Array("
adURL = new Array("469882367","469882686")
thisPic = 0

imgCt = myPix.length - 1

function chgSlide(direction) {

if (document.images) {

thisPic = thisPic + direction

if (thisPic > imgCt) {

thisPic = 0

}

if (thisPic < 0) {

thisPic = imgCt

}
document.myPicture.src=
myPix[thisPic]

}

}

function newLocation() {

document.location.href = &quot; + adURL[thisPic]

}

The HTML file text is as follows:
<td Background=&quot; width='298' height='260'><A HREF=&quot;javascript:newLocation()&quot;><CENTER>
<!-- ENTER STARTING GALLERY PICTURE -->
<img src=&quot; NAME = &quot;myPicture&quot; width=&quot;170&quot; ALT=&quot;Click to View Auction&quot;></CENTER></td>
<td width='298'><font face='Times New Roman' color=#000000 size=4><B><CENTER>
<A HREF=&quot;javascript:chgSlide(-1)&quot;>&lt;&lt;&nbsp; Previous</A>&nbsp;&nbsp;
<A HREF=&quot;javascript:chgSlide(1)&quot;>Next &nbsp;&gt;&gt;</A> </CENTER></B></font></td>
Thanx
