getElementBy...

[Regena]

I have the following code:

<a href="//www.google.com" id="check"><img name="img1"
src='/images/abc.gif' border='0'></a>

onClick action I want to print the image name id of the anchor.
how do I do that where should I add the onClick action in the anchor or
in the image tag?

What do you mean by "print"? And do you realise that once you click
the link, another document is loaded into your browser window?

I presume you mean "http://www.google.com/". The scheme part must not be
omitted if the target domain is a different one, see RFC3986. Therefore,
the above is equivalent to the resource "www.google.com" right below the
DocumentRoot, not to the www.google.com Web site.
src='/images/abc.gif' border='0'></a>
The `alt' attribute is required for the `img' element.
onClick action I want to print
I presume you mean "to display".
the image name id of the anchor.
I presume you mean "the name of the `img' element the `a' element is parent
of".
how do I do that where should I add the onClick action in the anchor or
in the image tag?
If this was a sentence, given the presumptions above, the answer would be

<a href="http://www.google.com" id="check"
onclick="alert(this.firstChild.name);"<img name="img1" src='/images/abc.gif' border='0' alt="abc"></a>

I read it as the ID of the a element that is wrapped around the image.

<a href="http://www.google.com" id="check"
onclick="alert(this.firstChild.name);"

onclick=alert(this.id);return false;

Fair enough, the blurred wording of the OP definitely allows for that :)

<a href="http://www.google.com" id="check"
onclick="alert(this.firstChild.name);"

onclick=alert(this.id);return false;

The attribute value must be quoted here, and "return false;" is neither
necessary nor viable in its current form (since it would disable the link
feature of the element).

Another solution for the latter:

<a href="http://www.google.com/" id="check"><img
name="img1" src='/images/abc.gif' border='0' alt="abc"
onclick="window.alert(this.parentNode.id);"></a>

And for the former:

<a href="http://www.google.com/" id="check"><img
name="img1" src='/images/abc.gif' border='0' alt="abc"
onclick="window.alert(this.name);"></a>

Both are not as downwards compatible as using the `onclick' attribute of the
`a' element instead, though.

sorry! I'm using frames so on click thebottom frame will change and the
image should chnage in the top frame
