Dear krone,<br><br>I bet if you show me the code to do this in VBScript I can tell you how to use Javascript.<br><br>-pete

hmmm I'll be very suprised if you can do this in a similar way in javascript but go for it - vb script follows (pinched from <A HREF="

Dear Krone,<br><br>I have no idea from your post what 'SG1' is but this would be the javascript syntax equiv to your VBScript:<br><br>&lt;script language=javascript&gt;<br>&lt;!--<br>//Sets initial variables and letter starting positions<br><br>function window_onload(){<br><br>SG1.Scale(0.50, 0.50, 0.50);<br>SG1.Rotate(0, 0, 0);<br><br>RotateAll();<br>} // window_onload()<br><br>function RotateAll(){<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;SG1.Rotate(0,0,-10);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;FILK = window.setTimeout(&quot;RotateAll&quot;, 10);<br>} // RotateAll()<br>--&gt;<br>&lt;/script&gt;<br><br>&lt;body onload=&quot;window_onload()&quot;&gt;<br>....<br><br>&lt;/body&gt;<br><br>Hope this helps<br>-pete

SG1 is the id of the object to be rotated - sorry!<br><br>but the problem is, AFAIK there is no rotate option in javascript - if I'm wrong please let me know!!<br><br>also there is no scale option as far as i know...<br><br>thanks for your help <br><br>andy <br><br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Purveyor of quality HTML, CSS, Javascript, TCL, SQL, ASP, VB, and am developing a palate for Java.<br>

Dear krone,<br><br>I just looked in the VBScript language reference and there is no 'Rotate' Method or function there either. <br><br>Do you know what object type you are refering to as SG1? Or do you know what entity you are using that supports the 'Rotate' method?<br><br>-pete<br>
