Resolved displaying image

[durangod]

Am i even close here lol i so suck at javascript lol

 var img = document.createElement('img');
      img.src = "/images/loader.gif";
      img.width = 32;
      img.height = 32;

      document.getElementById("showimage").value="img";

and of course the above is not working lol I think the prob is in my value =

If you create an img element, then you need to append it to a parent element

 var img = document.createElement('img');
      img.src = "/images/loader.gif";
      img.width = 32;
      img.height = 32;

      document.body.appendChild( img );

Is that what you're trying to do?

im trying to add an image to a hidden div


i cant just put the img src = because its a gif and it shows the image but it does not display the motion of the gif image just the still image so i thought if i added it to the js it would show the motion

so can i do this

function showhdiv()
{
var fval = document.FrmPicture.fileupload.value;

 if (fval)
    {
     var img = document.createElement('img');
      img.src = "/images/loader.gif";
      img.width = 32;
      img.height = 32;

     document.getElementById("vidstatus").style.display = "inline";
     document.body.appendChild( img );
      
    }

}//close function showhdiv

what i want is for the inline text to show, and then the gif image after that

the problem again is that if i do this outside the div

<img src="/images/loader.gif" border="0" alt="" />

the motion gif shows fine, but inside the div it just shows the still image (no motion) and i dont know why.

I have attached the loader.gif image for you to see
