document.getElementById.src not working in ie!

[Linto81]

Please help... this is doing my head in! I have some gifs within a page that when clicked on switch to an animated version. The script below works great in FF or safari... but not in ie. Any tips here would save me hitting the bottle!

the img tag is:

[HTML]<img src="/graphics/prmoff.gif" width="250" height="188" id="prm" onClick="animat eMe('prm');" alt="Click to start/stop animation">
[/HTML]
the code is:

[CODE=javascript]function animateMe(id){

var onsrc = /graphics/" + id + "on.gif";
var offsrc = /graphics/" + id + "off.gif";
var newSrc = document.getEle mentById(id).sr c;
alert(newSrc);
var pos=newSrc.inde xOf('on.gif');

if(pos=="-1"){
document.getEle mentById(id).sr c=onsrc;
}
else {
document.getEle mentById(id).sr c=offsrc;
}
}[/CODE]

Have you got any element named "prm" in the page?

hi,

Yes i got the element since she passed it as an argument and it is the id of the image

<img src="set1.jpg" width="250" height="188" id="[B]prm[/B]" onClick="animateMe('prm');" alt="Click to start/stop animation">

Have you got any element named "prm" in the page?

Sorry Vee ...

Are you saying it 'is' or 'isn't' working in ie for you?

If FF etc, with the alert in place I get the SRC of the img I need ot play with. In ie I get 'Undefined'

Any help?

Sorry, I should've quoted. I was referring to the OP.

From the code you've posted, it should work. Do you have any other elements on the page with name or ID "prm"? If not, can you post the rest of the code (if not too much).

There is a shed load of code as it sits within an included js file with many finctions in it.

I expect that there is a conflict somewhere in there... its just finding the bugger!

I am surprised though that FF works when ie doesn't - its normally the other way around!!

Thanks for your help guys... Back to the code search now :(

If that's the case, then there must be something wrong with the way you normally code. You'll find that most programmers/developers test or, at least should test, in a more standards-compliant browser (Firefox, Opera, etc.) then test in IE.
