[Fixed top-post]
The problem is the use of the JavaScript pseudo-protocol (<a
href="javascript:..."). When the user clicks on a link, the browser stops
most activities in preparation to load the new page. The expectation is
that the new page will completely replace the existing content so it
doesn't really have to bother with rendering the current page. One effect
of this is stopping the animation of images. However, calling a JavaScript
function that does something mundane, like just displaying an alert box,
doesn't replace the content. The page is left in this "reduced state", and
stays that way. Whilst refreshing the page will restart the animation, the
more intelligent solution is to move JavaScript code from the href
attribute to the onclick intrinsic event.
Please, learn from those that are far more knowledgeable than you instead
of insulting them. If you cannot grasp the solution to such a simple
problem, especially when the said solution was presented to you numerous
times, I don't believe you should ever offer assistance to anyone in the
future. You are clearly not able to educate yourself, let alone others.
