Heh, don't worry about it. I'm sure I've made worse mistakes.

Oh yeah, I was working on something for hours wondering why it was continuously failing. My colleague had gone home, and he was the one with the dev database server on his machine.

So after hours of messing around, all I had to do was turn his computer on. What a whazzock.

Oh and more importantly: That code also works in Opera. The bestest of all the browsers!

Ouch, you're going to kick yourself when you know what the problem was, try this:

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
// <[CDATA[
function Href(dest,image,text) {
this.dest = dest; this.image = image; this.text = text; }

function setHref(dest,image,text) {
myHref[hrefItems++] = new Href(dest,image,text); }

function replace() {
  var now = new Date();
  random = now.getSeconds()%hrefItems;
  if (random == lastrandom) {
  if (random == hrefItems-1) random--; else random++; }
  document.banner.src = myHref[random].image;
  document.links[0].href = myHref[random].dest;
  setTimeout('replace()',3000);
  lastrandom = random;
}

function Test() {
  var now = new Date();
  random = now.getSeconds()%hrefItems; lastrandom = random;
  document.write('<A HREF="' + myHref[random].dest + '">');
  document.write('<IMG NAME="banner" WIDTH=468 HEIGHT=60 ');
  document.write('BORDER=0 ALT="Caption for image here" ');
  document.write('SRC="' + myHref[random].image + '">');
	setTimeout('replace()',3000);
}
// ]]>
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;script TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript"&gt;
// <[CDATA[
  var random = 0;
  var lastrandom = -1;
  var hrefItems = 0;
  var myHref = new Array();
  setHref('http://www.website1.com','banner1.gif','alttag1'); 
  setHref('http://www.website2.com','banner2.gif','alttag2'); 
  setHref('http://www.website3.com','banner3.gif','alttag3'); 
  Test();
// ]]>
&lt;/script&gt;

You were browser sniffing for Netscape, and only running the code if Netscape is the browser in use. IE (correctly for a change) ignored most of your code.
