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 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.
