Simple Firefox Vs. Ie Script Bug; Need A Little Help Simple script works in Firefox but not IE.

[occorled 0]

Hello I have a simple .js file that seems to work in Firefox but not IE. The error could totally be my syntax, just not sure why it's working in one browser and not the other.All I'm doing is waiting for an image to load completely before redirecting. I added an extra step that waits an additional 1.5 seconds just for 100% smooth transition (sometimes firefox reroutes before the image is actually fully loaded). This script works perfectly for Firefox, meaning if the image is already loaded/cached it reroutes immediately and if not, then waits with extra delay. In IE however, it ALWAYS waits.... for some reason the logic of checking the image "complete" is not working properly.Any ideas?---------------------------------------------

// main background imageobjImage = new Image();objImage.src='main.jpg';objImage.name='main';// if cached, then go right to home page, otherwise wait for it to load with delayif ( objImage.complete ) {    reroute();}else {    objImage.onLoad=extradelay();}function extradelay(){    window.setTimeout("reroute()", 1500);}function reroute(){    document.location.href='home.html';}

---------------------------------------------

I'm not completely sure, but I think in IE, when you define variables you have to use the 'var' keyword for some reason. Like 'var x = 0;' or something. I guess you could try that with something simple, like just displaying a string from a variable, then if it works with the 'var' keyword, and doesn't work without it, then that's probably the problem.

I think you'd better use AJAX to achieve this purpose.

AJAX is simply JavaScript and XML. I believe you should just add 'var' to all of your variables. That is just good practice and can improve your coding.
