Switching an img without a prebuilt function

[sumyounguy]

Hi, I've got an images name attribute stored in string
myImg01='menu1item1img'
I've tried to use myImg01.src='yellow.gif';
but it has no effect...
is there any way i can change the img's source with its name in string format?

You need to create an image object only then you can manipulate its src attribute...

var img = new Image();
img.src='whatever.gif"

yeah, but i'm pretty sure my code is set up in a way that i can't create an img like that, i need its name to be created from the string, not its filename, that part is easy

Got it... just had to pass the string to a function as an argument, that fixed me...
