Javascript loop

I'm trying to preload a variable number of images. I can do most of what I want in asp but I'm not good with js. I'd like to use only js in the load command but will consider using both vbscript and js. The snippet below is what i want but it's not rendering.

****************CODE**************

'Determine the number of images
picnumof = ((Recordset1.Fields.Item("Pictures - Number of").Value) -1)
'DEBUG TO BE REMOVED
'response.write picnumof

<%
for i=1 to picnumof
imageload = imageload + "'http://vxxxxxxxxx.maximumasp.com/ress/img/40047429_0" & i &".jpg', "
next
%>

<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('<%=imageload%>')">

Using a mix of client-side javascript and server-side vbScript might be easier.

<%
'Determine the number of images
picnumof = ((Recordset1.Fields.Item("Pictures - Number of").Value) -1)
'DEBUG TO BE REMOVED
'response.write picnumof
%>

<script language="JavaScript"></script>

<body onload="MM_preloadImages(imageLoad)">
