Wrong ....?

What´s wrong? <script type="text/javascript"> function swapImage("eduard","eduard2") { elm = document.getElementById("eduard.JPG"); elm.src = "eduard2.JPG"</script>

missing }

Literal values in the place of parameters. I suspect you're also using the wrong ID.

Now that you mention it I'd bet money he's got the wrong ID. Unfortunately I'd find no takers for that bet. Go ahead Eduard and post your <IMG> code.

<img id="eduard" src="eduard.JPG" alt="img Eduard Lid">

Okay I'll take a shot and I don't even know JavaScript hardly at all.

<script type="text/javascript">function swapImage(imageId,newImage){elm = document.getElementById(imageId);elm.src = newImage;}</script>

It's what JSG said about literals. I've substituted variables for your literals. I have absolutely no idea how you're calling your function and it will be interesting to hear the details.

Alternative approach:

<script type="text/javascript">function swapImage(){elm = document.getElementById("eduard");elm.src = "eduard2.JPG"</script>;}

You didn't say how you're triggering your script so we on the forum can only speculate what you're trying to do. One problem with writing code, it usually has to be exactly right, or it's completely wrong. Once you get rid of the syntax errors the damned computer (server, browser, etc.) insists on doing exactly what you told it to do, not what you wanted it to do.

I´ll leave these fora for a while, because I urgently need work, but I´ll certainly come back!Thanks so far!
