[thelist] Image preload problem NN6

Any idea why this .js script does not appear to be preloading the images for
Netscape 6?  Works fine for IE4 and IE5.01.  (File is called in
<head></head>.)

Code:

var rand1 = 0;
var useRand = 0;

images = new Array;
images[1] = new Image(190,290);
images[1].src = "photo1.jpg";
images[2] = new Image(190,290);
images[2].src = "photo2.jpg";
images[3] = new Image(190,290);
images[3].src = "photo3.jpg";
images[4] = new Image(190,290);
images[4].src = "photo4.jpg";
images[5] = new Image(190,290);
images[5].src = "photo5.jpg";

function swapPic() {
var imgnum = images.length - 1;
do {
var randnum = Math.random();
rand1 = Math.round((imgnum - 1) * randnum) + 1;
} while (rand1 == useRand);
useRand = rand1;
document.randimg.src = images[useRand].src;
}
