Refer to an image in JavaScript

[Samuel Shulman]

I have an image with id 'SolitaireImage'

How can I refer to it in JavaScript? I want to change the src attribute

Thank you,
Samuel

Same way you do any other object with an ID.
theImage = document.getElementById('SolitaireImage')

Not sure about ID, but if you use the NAME attribute...

<img name="blah"...>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide

function changeImage(var source)
{
document.images.blah.src = source;
}

// dunhidin -->
</script>

Or something like that...

Cheers,

The W3C Level 2 HTML DOM specification says that IDed IMG elements
should be referencable as named properties of the - document.images -
collection.
