I want to display a sequence of images by setInterval().In the end, there should display last image. Problem is after running, there is no image . I am sure the variable 'Index' still keep increasing by 1. I don't know why....

Your code needs clearInterval method to stop the interval . I've replaced your images with divs for demo purpose.

 var index = 0; var x = document.getElementsByClassName("mySlides"); function displayNextSlide() { for (var i = 0; i < x.length; i++) { if (i === index) { x[i].style.display = "block"; } else { x[i].style.display = "none"; } } index++; if (index == x.length) { clearInterval(interval); } } displayNextSlide(); var interval = setInterval(displayNextSlide, 500)
