get image filename fom div

[Andrew Poulos]

I've have a number of DIV tags that contain one image. Each DIV has an
onclick event. How can I get the image filename? I just need the
filename and not the file path.

I was trying to do something with getElementsByTagName but I'm stuck
trying to work out which one has as its parent DIV the DIV that was clicked.

<div onclick='blah'><img src="a.jpg"></div>
<div>other things</div>
<div onclick='blah'>some text <img src="b.jpg"></div>

var b = a[i].getElementsByTagName("img");
if(b.length>0)
r.innerHTML+= 'divnr ' + (i+1) + ": " +
b[0].src.replace(/.*\//,'')+'<br>';
}

reading your question again, perhaps this is what you want?

<div onclick='blah(this)'><img src="a.jpg"></div>
<div>other things</div>
<div onclick='blah(this)'>some text <img src="b.jpg"></div>
<div onclick='blah(this)'><img src="c.jpg"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

function blah(x){
var b = x.getElementsByTagName("img");
if(b.length>0)
alert(b[0].src.replace(/.*\//,''))
}

</script>

Thanks for the help (and to ASM as well). I never realised that you
could do getElement... with an object other than document. It's going to
change some of my other code for the better.

thanks again

you can have a look to that :

that allow you to do not have hard html codding the 'onclick'

Hmm, that's pretty interesting stuff. Where do I find out more about
using the DOM?

My refs are prerably in french ... but :

a good approach whith examples :
http://en.selfhtml.org/javascript/index.htm
curiously I'd gotten it in german ! ?

very serious :

Try in google : cloneNode
or parentNode or appendChild
