As Raffles said:

  
<script type="text/javascript">

]
var i = 0;
function afridy () {

var el = document.getElementById('imgid');

el.setAttribute('src', arr[i++]);

if(i == arr.length ) { i = 0; }

setTimeout("afridy ()",3000);

}
// window.onload = afridy;
</script>


<table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td><img id="imgid" src="http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/image.php?u=97648&dateline=1168529180" width="256" height="256"    onclick="afridy ()"  /></td>
  </tr>

Instead of using innerHTML you can just have the image URLs in the array (without the HTML) and then just set el.setAttribute('src', arr[i++]);

Also, setInterval() seems better suited to this case.
