[chanshaw]

Ok I want to create an array of photos that are in a specific directory of the web server is their a way to get the list of files and store it into an array? thanks

i tried

var pictureID;
 
document.onload
{
 
    pictureID = 0;
    var pictures = new Array("balls.jpg", "kids.jpg", "kids2.jpg" )
    document.write("hi");
    document[thispicture].src = "test";
        document.write("hi");
 
}

but it wouldnt allow me to change the src of the thispicture img tag

For your original query, the answer is: not with JavaScript. Use your server-side language, e.g. PHP, ASP, etc.

In your code, change line 3 to

window.onload = function()

Is thispicture a variable? If not, and the name of the image is thispicture, you can use

document.images["thispicture"].src = ...

You also need to use a valid image file name/path.
