image swap
 

i am trying to write a function so that when a user enters onto a page selected images change with each page that is entered. the page uses an iframe to load the new data so i need to swap the images on the main page which holds the iframe inside it.

function swap_image{

    document['imgMain'].src = title_commissioning.jpg;

  }

in the body of the page

onload="swap_image"

would the code look something like the code above or would it need to be expanded because the images that are being change are not in the iframe.

i ahve changed the code but it still is not working the code i have now looks like this

function changeImage() {

if (document.getElementById) {

document.getElementById("image").style.background="images/home_title.jpg";

}

else if (document.all) {

document.all["image"].style.background="images/home_title.jpg";

}

else if (document.layers) {

document.layers["image"].style.background="images/home_title.jpg";

}

} 

in the body tag

onload="changeImage()"

and were the image is displayed

<td height="24"  colspan="2" id="image" background="images/commissioning_title.jpg"></td>

i ended up getting it work using iframes, i no it is not the same but it works.

i set the i frames to load different images in from a button click in the menu. it works fine and has no effect on the page loading times.
