<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I fully understood what you're doing. I didn't need
to see </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the rest. You're trying to dynamically set an
image's source.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm sure you have them named:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>nt_o1, nt_o2, nt_o3, etc...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I was saying is that you're referencing them
incorrectly </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>which is why you think you need a dynamic
variable. If you were </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to reference the element through the .image
collection, you'd </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>be able to access them by name or index.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since you're </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>looking
to reference them by name (the correct </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>choice in my book), </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>you are forming a value, not a variable. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your value is the string "nt_o" </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>+ the dynamic value of i</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So my real suggestion out of that was to reference
the image </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>through the collection rather than trying to
reference it by </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ID.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks for the answers, but they didn't solve my
problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>function note(number){<BR> for ( var i=1; i < 6;
i++){<BR> if ( i <= number ){</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> alert(['nt_0'+i].src); // it's tracing
undefined<BR> ['nt_o'+i].src =
'../_img/1_note_0'+i+'_on.gif';<BR> } else
{<BR> ['nt_o'+i].src =
'../_img/1_note_0'+i+'_off.gif';<BR> }<BR> }<BR>}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks again</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you have a dynamic variable name? I would
never use a </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>dynamic variable to be honest with you - or at
least haven't ever </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>found the need for one yet, but from the looks
of it below, you </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>don't have a dynamic variable, but rather
you're trying to build </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a reference to an image
dynamically.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To do that, use the document.images collection
and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>build your string when targeting a specific
element in that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>collection:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>document.images["nt_o" + i].src =
"path/to/image.gif"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's not a dynamic variable name - just so
you're aware.</FONT></DIV>
