JS getElementById

[scratch22]

Hey guys, just having a little trouble returning data that refers back to an image through JS.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function showPic (whichpic) {
if (document.getElementById) {
document.getElementById('placeholder').src = whichpic.href;
if (whichpic.title) {
document.getElementById('desc').childNodes[0].nodeValue = whichpic.title;
} else {
document.getElementById('desc').childNodes[0].nodeValue = whichpic.childNodes[0].nodeValue;
}
return false;
} else {
return true;
}

}
</script>

So what this does is when i click an image in the gallery it returns info from the title="" tag in the <a href of the image, the problem being that i need this info to be in a certain format. I almost need to return a table of info.

Ive searched for scripts but i'm thinkin this is a little bit different from most.

Any advice muchly appreciated folks

This is an awful chancey way to get or set nodeValue:

document.getElementById('desc').childNodes[0].nodeValue = whichpic.childNodes[0].nodeValue;

Are you looking for the title attr node?

If you want the info from the title check
document.getElementById('desc').title
or document.getElementById('desc').getAttribute('title');

But your function is set to return true or false...

Cheers mrhoo, To say i was a noob with JS would be an Overstatment
Eventually we found an alternative solution, which is ok but not as cool as i would have liked it.
Thanks for the reply tho
