onClick - change href

I have a dynamic list of thumbnails, and one cooresponding "medium" sized image that changes onClick... I also need to be able to allow the user to click on this medium sized image to view the "large" image.

My JS function is as -
function showMedium(imageName) {
document.bigImage.src = imageName;
}

This changes the medium size image, but I have a "a href" around the medium sized image that also needs to change.

<a href='???' target='new'><img name='bigImage' width='400' height='300' src='images/homes/medium/" & house_ID & ".jpg' border='0'></a>

Can I change the "href" value onClick - inside the above function?

Thanks!

Sure you can,

Just add an 'id' to the Href...

<A Href="link" id="Href1" Name="Href1">links</A>

then in code...

function changeHref(){
document.all("Href1").href="newlink"
}

Dont forget changeHref() needs to be called from an event some where...

AArnie's solution will only work in Internet Explorer 4.0+, since the "all" collection is a Microsoft proprietary extension to the "document" object. It is not recognized as a standard, and it will not work in any other browsers. The DOM is an open standard that all modern browsers must conform to.
