Array of images

[misfortune]

I'm trying to get a specific set of images into an array but it's not working.

y = document.getElementsByTagName('img');

The above works but isn't specific enough.

y = document.getElementById('test').getElementsByTagName('img');

The above is what I want but doesn't work. How can I achieve this?

Basically I need to use...

$(y[z]).css("display", "none");

on some images in a loop based on specific conditions but only the ones inside the specific div.

As a test, what does the following display in your program?

y = document.getElementById('test').getElementsByTagName('img');
for (var i=0; i<y.length; i++) { alert(y[i].src); }

If shows nothing, then post more of your code.

It looks like you’re using jQuery in the last example which is why I moved the thread here. Now, jQuery makes it really easy to select certain elements but we need to know more about the markup (HTML) to be able to give you an appropriate solution.

To translate the “The above is what I want but doesn't work.” code into jQuery:

y = $('#test img');

You can then do

y.css('display','none');

but you could even do

$('#test img').css('display','none');

right away.
The first method with declaring a variable might save some resources, though.
