appendChild with custom objects

[Shawn Modersohn]

Firstly, thanks for all the help in here.

My code is:

<script type="text/javascript">
var img1= new Image(200,200)
img1.src="file://d:/datatools/c++/boat1.jpg"
var img2 = new Image(200,200)
img2.src="file://d:/datatools/c++/china1.jpg"

function art(title,program,dated,author,url){
this.title=title;
this.program=program;
this.dated=dated
this.author=author;
this.url=url;
}
var show1=new art("the boat", "photoshop", "Aug 2004", "Shawn
Modersohn", img1)
var show2=new art("China", "photoshop", "Aug 2004", "Pamela Phillips", img2)
function navigateTo(){
var newElem=document.createElement("P")
newElem.appendChild(show1.url)
document.getElementById("rightI").appendChild(newE lem)
}
</script>

It is going to be a script that cycles images for a slideshow
presentation. I am not worrying quite yet about the if elses, the for
loops, and other such control structures.

What I want to know is how I can append both an image coupled with the
title etc. As I am sure most of you are aware, appendChild(show1.url +
show1.title) does not work. I am hoping to use css and declare #rightI
p img {block} and other such attributes to control presentation. I just
want to know how to get both the image and the title, author, etc, into
the div I want them to go in. As it is now, it works only well enough
to append the appropriate image. Thanks again for any help.

Well create what you need an append it e.g.
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = show1.src;
img.title = show1.title;
img.alt = ''
newElem.appendChild(img);

If you also want to display text then create a text node and append that too
var text = document.createTextNode(show1.dated);
newElem.appendChild(text);
