I am trying to figure how to change image1 to image4 and image2 to image3 by clicking on the images. Here is what I got so far...I know I am missing something but not sure what. I would also like to have an example how to write onMouseOver and onMouseOut in this program. I have viewed some examples but I am still confused. :confused: When I test this...I am getting error in Line 42 and 43. I would appreciate your help on this matter. This is what I got so far:

myImage[1] = new Image ( )
myImage[1].src = "images/image2.gif"

myImage[2] = new Image ( )
myImage[2].src = "images/image3.gif"

myImage[3] = new Image ( )
myImage[3] = "images/image4.gif"
}

function changeImg( ) {
if value == 0
change image1 document.images[1].src = myImages[2]
{else}
if value == 1
change image 0 document.images[0].src = myImages[3]
{else}
alert("Houston, we have a problem")
return false // prevent click from going anywhere

// -->
</script>
</head>

<table border=0>
<tr>
<td><a href="Lab4.html"><img src="images/image1.gif" name="image1" width="300" height="150" onClick="changeImg( ); " ></a></td>
<td><a href="Lab4.html"><img src="images/image2.gif" name="image2" width="300" height="150" onClick="changeImg( ); " ></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

Arrays start at 0 not 1. There may be a better way to do it but this might get you going.

Thanks Aerospace_Eng_! That is similar what I had before but I could only get one image to change but not the other. Example: first box is letter A and second box is letter B...when I clicked A the second box change B to C which is what I wanted to do. When I clicked on the second box...nothing is happening on the first box which is suppose to change letter to D. Also, I am trying to get it to reverse back to the orginial letters when you click the images again. Am I confusing you yet? LOL sry if I am. I noticed you only put 3 images instead of 4 but I corrected it. So, I am wondering if or do I need to add more to my function? Again, thanks for your time on helping me...I really appreciated! :)
