[Javascript] dynamic variables names

I fully understood what you're doing. I didn't need to see
the rest. You're trying to dynamically set an image's source.
I'm sure you have them named:
nt_o1, nt_o2, nt_o3, etc...
What I was saying is that you're referencing them incorrectly
which is why you think you need a dynamic variable. If you were
to reference the element through the .image collection, you'd
be able to access them by name or index.
Since you're looking to reference them by name (the correct
choice in my book), you are forming a value, not a variable.
Your value is the string "nt_o" + the dynamic value of i
So my real suggestion out of that was to reference the image
through the collection rather than trying to reference it by
ID.

Thanks for the answers, but they didn't solve my problem.
I didn't post the entire function, and that's why I think you say that I don't have a dynamic variable name. ( or maybe I'm wrong ), here's the function
function note(number){
for ( var i=1; i < 6; i++){
if ( i <= number ){
alert(['nt_0'+i].src); // it's tracing undefined
['nt_o'+i].src = '../_img/1_note_0'+i+'_on.gif';
} else {
['nt_o'+i].src = '../_img/1_note_0'+i+'_off.gif';
}
}
}
what I'm trying to accomplish, is to change some images from 1 to i based on the number I pass to the function (ie. if I pass 3, I want images 1,2 and 3 to be on and 4 and 5 to be off ), so if someone has a different approach to this please share.
Thanks again

Do you have a dynamic variable name? I would never use a
dynamic variable to be honest with you - or at least haven't ever
found the need for one yet, but from the looks of it below, you
don't have a dynamic variable, but rather you're trying to build
a reference to an image dynamically.
To do that, use the document.images collection and
build your string when targeting a specific element in that
collection:
document.images["nt_o" + i].src = "path/to/image.gif"
That's not a dynamic variable name - just so you're aware.

Hi list,
It's me again, and I need some help again please.
how can I use dynamic variables name in JS ?
I mean, how do I evaluate the 2 parts so they work ?
if ( i <= number ){
['nt_o'+i].src = '../_img/1_nota_0'+i+'_on.gif';
}
thanks in advance
