As I posted in the comment you don t need to use both setTimeout   and setInterval    moreover you have a syntax error too  the one extra     Correct your code like this    edited to add two functions to force the next previous image to be shown    lt  DOCTYPE html gt    lt html gt      lt head gt         lt title gt change picture lt  title gt         lt script type    text javascript  gt            function displayNextImage                   x    x     images length - 1    0   x   1                document getElementById  img   src   images x                          function displayPreviousImage                   x    x  lt   0    images length - 1   x - 1                document getElementById  img   src   images x                          function startTimer                   setInterval displayNextImage  3000                          var images       x   -1            images 0     image1 jpg             images 1     image2 jpg             images 2     image3 jpg          lt  script gt      lt  head gt       lt body onload    startTimer    gt          lt img id  img  src  startpicture jpg   gt          lt button type  button  onclick  displayPreviousImage    gt Previous lt  button gt          lt button type  button  onclick  displayNextImage    gt Next lt  button gt      lt  body gt   lt  html gt

As of current edited version of the post  you call setInterval at each change s end  adding a new  changer  with each new iterration  That means after first run  there s one of them ticking in memory  after 100 runs  100 different changers change image 100 times every  second  completely destroying performance and producing confusing results   You only need to  prime  setInterval once  Remove it from function and place it inside onload instead of direct function call

You can load the images at the beginning and change the css attributes to show every image   var images   array    for  url in your urls array       var img   document createElement   img          here the image attributes   width  height  position  etc      images push  img       function player  position       images position-1  style display    none    be careful working with the first position   images position  style display    block       reset position if needed   timer   setTimeOut   player  position     time
