You can do it like this

<script type="text/javascript">
 
function ChangeImage(imgbtn)
    {
        imgbtn.src="Images/cart.jpg";
    }
 
 
 
</script>
 
 
 
 <asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton2" runat="server" 
                    ImageUrl="~/Images/barrels.jpg" onclick="javascript:ChangeImage(this)" />

Sorry it should be OnClientClick and not onclick

<asp:ImageButton ID="ImageButton1" runat="server" OnClientClick="javascript:ChangeImage(this)" />

Thanks that seems to have worked although I have a small problem of when the page postback on the image button click the image changes back to it's orginally one. Any suggestions on how to work around this?

You can do it like this

<script type="text/javascript">
    function ChangeImage(imgbtn)
    {
        imgbtn.src="Images/cart2.jpg";
        document.getElementById("<%=hdnImage.ClientID %>").value = imgbtn.id;
    }
    function SetImage()
    {
        var img = document.getElementById(document.getElementById("<%=hdnImage.ClientID %>").value);
        if(img != null)
            img.src = "Images/cart2.jpg";
    }
</script>
<body onload="SetImage();">
  <!-- YOUR CODE DATALIST AND ALL-->
   <asp:HiddenField ID="hdnImage" runat="server" />
</body>
