asked on

in img tag, javascript function to get path of image file

As the title implies, I want to call a function, passing a variable or two, that will return the path for a given image file. In the code below:

<blockquote class="black-normal-width300">
<p><img id="img10" src="sunsets2/Nov-2004-sunset-1-sm.jpg" title="Click thumbnail for larger image" onclick='JavaScript: togglePic("img10", src="http://www.somedomain.com/pictures/02-2005/Feb-09-2005-sunset-1.jpg"); return false;' alt=""><br><br>November 2004 sunset 1 of 3</p>
</blockquote>

I want this:

src="http://www.somedomain.com/pictures/02-2005/Feb-09-2005-sunset-1.jpg"

to be something like:

src= somefunction(var1, var2) + "/02-2005/Feb-09-2005-sunset-1.jpg"

Thanks in advance,
Preece

Try this...

<head>
<script language="javascript">
function callsrc(){
return "https://www.experts-exchange.com/";
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<script language="javascript1.2">
imgsrc=callsrc();
document.write("<img src='"+imgsrc+"images/certification.gif'>");
</script>
</body>

Show how it would be placed in this code block:

<blockquote class="black-normal-width300">
<p><img id="img10" src="http://www.somedomain.com/pictures/02-2005/022905-1sm.jpg" title="Click thumbnail for larger image" onclick='JavaScript: togglePic("img10", src="http://www.somedomain.com/pictures/02-2005/022905-1.jpg"); return false;' alt=""><br><br>02/29/2005 pic 1 of 3</p>
</blockquote>

I'm ok with this part:

<head>
<script language="javascript">
function callsrc(){
return "https://www.experts-exchange.com/";
}
</script>
</head>

but, how would this:

<script language="javascript1.2">
imgsrc=callsrc();
document.write("<img src='"+imgsrc+"images/certification.gif'>");
</script>

be integrated in with:

<p><img id="img10" src="http://www.somedomain.com/pictures/02-2005/022905-1sm.jpg" title="Click thumbnail for larger image" onclick='JavaScript: togglePic("img10", src="http://www.somedomain.com/pictures/02-2005/022905-1.jpg"); return false;' alt=""><br><br>02/29/2005 pic 1 of 3</p>

Thanks,
