rudimentary animation

[Dopple]

Is it possible to make a crude animation with javascript? I mean like a gif. Maybe a script that would show one image for .25 of a second then change to another for the same amount of time then another and so on. If there is could somebody point me in the direction of a site that would tell me (and what the process is called).
Thanks

<script>
var Counter = 0;
var images = new Array()

images[0]="image1.jpg"
images[1]="image2.jpg"
images[2]="image3.jpg"
images[3]="image4.jpg"
images[4]="image5.jpg"

setInterval("RotateImages()",250);

function RotateImages(){
document.images[0].src=images[Counter];
Counter++;
if(Counter>=images.length) { Counter=0; }
};

</script>
<img src="image1.jpg">

You the man. Cheers.

if you wanna slow it down increase the number in:

setInterval("RotateImages()",250); // 250 = 1/4 of a second
                                   //1000 = 1 second
                                   //5000 = 5 seconds.

you could also add a stop button:

<script>
var Counter = 0;
var images = new Array()

images[0]="image1.jpg"
images[1]="image2.jpg"
images[2]="image3.jpg"
images[3]="image4.jpg"
images[4]="image5.jpg"

var animation = setInterval("RotateImages()",250);

function RotateImages(){
document.images[0].src = images[Counter];
Counter++;
if(Counter >= images.length) { Counter=0; }
};

</script>
<img src="image1.jpg">
<input type=button value=stop onclick="clearInterval(animation);">
