Calling an image with Jscript

[Zapcat]

I'm trying to call an image using Jscript, and to keep things tidy want to keep them in a seperate folder. Part of the image name is a variable, and this is where things are falling over. An example of my code is below. Where am I going wrong??

borderPic.src = "\images\" + myBorder + " border.gif";

i think this might be it

borderPic.src = "\images\" + myBorder + " border.gif";

why do you have a space between the word border and the quote before it?? and if that isn't the problem what is the variable myBorder?

Are you using Jscript or Javascript?

I am using Javascript.

The name of one of the gifs will be "red border" which is why the gap.

Zapcat...

Just building strings here. Post the end result desired (file path) and any string you'll be passing in in a variable.

Hey, Zapcat.

I'm kinda new to JavaScript, but I think I know what might be wrong. The foreslashes; I think you need to use a backslash as well.

So:
borderPic.src = "\images\" + myBorder + "border.gif";

becomes

borderPic.src = "/\images/\" + myBorder + "border.gif";

Just a guess, but that's what I had to do...
