Equating an Image Object to another does not give the desired result, plz help.

Hi there, I just found these forums and several questions I had have been answered by just reading the posts but this one.

I have simplified my code in order to just get to the point with my question.
This is my html code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. </head>
  4. <body>
  5.  
  6.  <img id="img1" src="images/smile.jpg" style="border:#0000FF solid 2px;"/>
  7.  
  8.  <script language="javascript">
  9.  
  10.    my_image = new Image;
  11.    my_image.src="images/sad.jpg"; my_image.style.border="#FFFFFF solid 5px";
  12.  
  13.    x=document.getElementById("img1");
  14.    x=my_image;
  15.  </script>
  16.  
  17. </body>
  18. </html>
  19.  
Before I set "x=my_image ", the x object is referring to the image object within the document, so far so good. After the assignment, x is referring to the my_image object and now there is no relationship at all with the image within the document. What I want to accomplish is for the image object within the document to be referring to the my_image object so it updates all of the properties I pre-set for my_image(which will be several in my real code). How can I do that?, or is it best to remove the image object and then append the new my_image to the document(or to the container that will hold it)?

I want to do an image slicing within an html document so I would be updating that object with different images and properties through an adequate set of controls and javascript events of course, this code is just the idea to present my problem.

The Image object is not an html element. It does have a src property, which you can read and apply to an img element.


my_image = new Image();
my_image.src="i mages/sad.jpg";

document.getEle mentById("img1" ).src= my_image.src;

The Image object is not an html element.

dont want to be a wise-guy, but i think you might be wrong:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. var i = new Image(100,100);
  2.  
  3. alert(i.constructor) // "HTMLImageElement"
  4.  
  5. //  also it can be appended just like any other element:
  6.  
  7. i.src="http://bytes.com/forum/customavatars/avatar117351_1.gif";
  8. document.body.appendChild(i)

>> How can I do that?, : you can't. once its in the dom, you have to use dom MPEs to alter it in a way that changes appear.


>> or is it best to remove the image object and then append the new my_image to the document(or to the container that will hold it)? : thats what i would do, or perhaps give the tag a id, and put all of your images inside the container, img.style.displ ay="none".
then simply 1. hide all of them. 2. show the one you need. to change the image.

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

Hello All, I¡¯m using a context menu associated with some pictureboxes to provide copy/paste functionality. Copying the image to the clipboard was easy. But pasting an image from the clipboard is proving to be more difficult. These pictureboxes are bound to an AccessDB. If the user wants to add an image, they select an image using an OpenFileDialog: Dim result As DialogResult = Pic_Sel.ShowDialog() If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then

Hello, I am daring to stick my head above the parapet and ask as question. I am working on redesigning a website to use CSS rather than tables for layout. I have come across a problem when trying to float an image to the right.

The basic design of having a left column and a main...
