Answer 1

I compared two sources and noticed that you are missing an initial call in the second one:

first one:

    ...
    fantasystep=1
    //call function "slideit3()" every 2.5 seconds
    setTimeout("slideit3()",2500)
}
setTimeout("slideit3()",2000)

second one:

    ...
    homestep=1
    //call function "slideit()" every 2.5 seconds
    setTimeout("slideit()",2500)
}
// you are missing "setTimeout("slideit()",2500)" here

SUggestions:

• Don't miss semicolons in the end of each line.
• using eval() is not a good idea, consider using array instead. Here is a full article of how to use arrays in JS
