Prototype code, generating error

This line of code:
var Orb[i]=new Element("img",{src:"../images/Orb.png"}).update("container");

Results in this firebug error:
missing ; before statement
var Orb[i]=new Element("img",{src:"../images/Orb.png"}).update("container");\n

container is a <div>

I have gotten to the sit and stare point on this, what am I not seeing?

You can't initialize an array like that. It has to be something like
var Orb = [];
Orb[i]=new Element("img",{src:"../images/Orb.png"}).update("container");

You are absolutely correct! now about my new problem...
