When i use an event handler in javascript, i will be able to get the name of the image by using event.srcElement. But this method does not work in firefox. What is the alternate method to get the name or index of the image in firefox for a an event. Thanks in advane George Joseph www.geoshrad.com

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. But it should get the image src. [script type="text/javascript"] function getName() { myAlert = document.getElementById('myImage').src; alert(myAlert); } [/script] [img id="myImage" src="http://www.http://computing.net/img/runtime.gif"/] [span onclick="getName();"]Click Me[/span]

I got the solution. I must use to following code to get it var element = evt.target || window.event.srcElement; that was the only thing which i ws looking for function openWindow(url, evt) { //popupWin = window.open(url, name, 'scrollbars,resizable,width=850,height=700'); //alert("hallo"); var element = evt.target || window.event.srcElement; //alert(element.src); //create a new div and include the image there if( element.width<600) { //alert(evt.target); element.width=600; element.style.position="absolute"; var file=element.src.indexOf("thumps"); var path=element.src.substring(0,file); var name=element.src.substring(file+7,file+14); element.src=path+name; //element.refresh; } else { element.width=200; element.style.position="static"; } } www.geoshrad.com
