Dynamically Changing an Image

[Jerry Camel]

I am interacting with an OCX on the client side. In the Onload event of the page, I am checking a property of the OCX: Is the port open or closed.

If the port is open, I want a certain image to appear. If the port is closed, a different image.
Sounds pretty straight forward.

Since this is dependent upon a property of a client side component, I can't do this with VB .net on the server, right?

So I was trying to use vbscript on the client like this:

If Form1.CardReade r.PortOpen = True Then
Document.getEle mentById("lblPo rtStatus").inne rText = "Card reader is active."
Document.getEle mentById("imgSt atus").setAttri bute("src", "images/CR_On.jpg")
Else
Document.getEle mentById("lblPo rtStatus").inne rText = "Card reader is NOT active."
Document.getEle mentById("imgSt atus").setAttri bute("src","ima ges/CR_Off.jpg")
End If

What I've kinda figured out is that I can't really just change the src text 'cause I'm already at the client. So how do I have the images "cached" so that I can change the src dynamically? Or am I completely misunderstandin g the problem?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

following javascript would change an image to diffrent one

document["imgStatus"].src = "images/CR_On.jpg";

the VB Script syntax would be following ?.. I am not very familair with
VB Script

document("imgSt atus").src = "images/CR_On.jpg"

Jerry,

Sure you can set the src on the client. The image control will get another image and render it, no problem.

Well, gone are those days when you could tell a real programmers by his
non-stop typing into a black MSDOS screen. Now you have to look into his
html background...:)

After all, the problem wasn't my code... Just where I had it in the document. Thanks for the input.
