To trigger im using a actionListner... Here are my codes below..I do not know why my image doesnt seem to change...

selectTitleList.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {

String pic = selectTitleList.getSelectedItem() + ".jpg";
displayTextPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER, 5, 1));
imageLabel1 = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(pic));
displayTextPanel.add(imageLabel1);
bookingDisplayArea = new JTextArea(12,50);
displayTextPanel.add(bookingDisplayArea);

}
});

> bookingDisplayArea = new JTextArea(12,50);
> displayTextPanel.add(bookingDisplayArea);

replace those lines with:

imageLabel1.setIcon(new ImageIcon(pic));
displayTextPanel.setText("");

displayTextPanel is visible in your Frame, Dialog, Panel (or someother Container)?
