It might work to use:

<p align="center"><img id="_Ath_Slide" src="1st_image.jpg" onload="OnImgLoad()"> </p>

Substituting the path and name of your first image for 1st_image.jpg.

Or change this:

if (document.getElementById||document.all)
window.onload=Play
Play()

to this:

if (document.getElementById||document.all)
window.onload=function(){
Play();
Next();
}

Neither worked but I tweaked what you gave me and used the second idea and had success... Thanks for all your help... i was spinning my wheels.... code below

if (document.getElementById||document.all)
window.onload=Play
Next();
Play()
