/* This script will produce the effect of a turning page in an open book. It requires at least four images and, if the pages are not to keep swopping sides, it requires an even number too. Ideally, these images are the same width and height. (In this display each image used is itself made up of different size pictures.) To ensure a smooth effect, all the images for the book are first downloaded, before the page-turn effect is applied, otherwise blank pages or partly loaded pages appear. The image.onload event is used to detect the successful loading of an image. The procedure used is to assign the src to an invisible test image. If the onload event for this image is fired, then it might be considered that the full image has been downloaded. Unfortunately IE browsers sometimes fail to download a full image. To check if this has happened, the image height is measured. If it exceeds a certain minimum, the image download is considered successful. If not, it is rechecked and if the height remains unchanged for a given number of measurements, the image is considered faulty and further downloading ceases.. If the download is a considered a success, its src is transferred to the appropiate element in 'imgBase', the array of images needed for the 'pageflip' and then the next download is initiated. The process continues until all images needed for the 'pageflip' are downloaded after which the function 'startFlip' is called. If the onerror event occurs, due to an image being wrongly named or missing or any image downloaded is considered faulty, then the function 'startFlip' is not called and no page turning ensues. The function 'startFlip' cause one page-turn initially. Further turns can be made by clicking on the open book display. A notice giving instructions how to do this is displayed. Once all the images have been used, the sequence begins again. It is possible to have the book with its spine parallel to the top of the screen or parallel to the side of the screen by changing the value of the variable 'spineHorizontal'.*/ //Define preset values for page turning of book var pgImgWidth=242; // width of one image.
