Thanks to vwphillips, Jona, Natdrip & felgall now I have this code here the allow me to nevigate between the DIV's.

What I'm trying to figure out is how can I make the DIV's to switch every X second on their own.

What do I need to use?

That's the code:


<html>
<head>
<style>
.tbody {display: none;}
</style>
<script Language="JavaScript">
var current = 1;

function move( byWhat )
{
current += byWhat;
if ( current < 1 ) current = 5;
if ( current > 5 ) current = 1;
show( current );
}

function show( nwhich )
{
current = nwhich;
for ( var dnum = 1; dnum <= 5; ++dnum )
{
var dv = document.getElementById("BODY"+dnum);
dv.style.display = ( dnum == nwhich ? 'block' : 'none' );
}
}
</script>
</head>

<body>

<DIV ID="BODY1" class="tbody" style="display: block;">
<b>DIV 1</b><br>
</DIV>
<DIV ID="BODY2" class="tbody">
<b>DIV 2</b><br>
</DIV>
<DIV ID="BODY3" class="tbody">
<b>DIV 3</b><br>
</DIV>
<DIV ID="BODY4" class="tbody">
<b>DIV 4</b><br>
</DIV>
<DIV ID="BODY5" class="tbody">
<b>DIV 5</b><br>
</DIV>

<a href="#" onClick="move(-1);">&laquo; Previous</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<a href="#" onClick="move(1);">Next &raquo;</a>

</body>
</html>


Thanks

I believe inside the function... the thing is that I don't know how to switch the DIV's.

Huh? :confused: Your link takes care of that:

<a href="#" onClick="move(1);">Next &raquo;</a>

I mean... in an automated way

OK, one example -- using the code previously given:

<body onload="window.setTimeout('move(1)', 15000); return true;">

Mmm... I see your point but only the first DIV changes.
How can I continute change'em?

One way:

<body onload="window.setInterval('move(1)', 15000); return true;">

Oh nice... simple.

What's the difference between the setInterval & setTimeout?

Thanks a lot!

setInterval re-executes itself automatically.
setTimeout executes one time and quits.
