Stop, Stop, Stop..... Please HELP (code included)

Q1: clearTimeout does not function in this example....
Why?
Q2: Is there anyway (outside of pulling the computer's power plug out
of the wall) to impliment a STOP() function similar to that in NN.

I can supply online example with full code if needed...

Thanks for the help,
Jeff

-------------------------------------
This and the IMG tag below are in a CHILD frame of a frameset.

function canvas_onload() {
if (parent.firstpic == 1) {
window.maindelay =
setTimeout("parent.getimages();",2);
parent.firstpic = 0;
} else {
window.maindelay =
setTimeout("parent.getimages();",parent.delay);
}

}

My image that starts the show....

--------------------------------------
This is in the PARENT frame

var maindelay = null; <== inits the var for the child frame code

function cleartimers() {
if (maindelay) {
clearTimeout(maindelay);
maindelay = null; <--- this is attempting to kill the loop too
}

You want setInterval, not setTimeout
(also attached)
<html>
<head>
<script>
var interv=window.setInterval('callback()', 4000);
function callback()
{
alert("callback");
window.clearInterval(interv)

Thanks for the help, but I need to use setTimeout and not setInterval
as the setTimeout function is called by the image onload event.
If I'm not 'getting' why I should be using the setInterval function
then please clue me in.
I can also supply you with the source code and site url if needed. But
I must warn you that the code is for a XXX site.
Thanks again,
Jeff
