String Manipulation Help needed

[certizoid]

how can I change "ford" into simply ford ? in one part of my code: ford.src will change an image.

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;> <!-- preload blank image -->
function change()
{
ford.src= &quot;images/&quot; + pres_name + &quot;.jpg&quot;
}
</script>

but I need to use a string variable (to account for all the presidents)

using &quot;ford&quot;.src does not work. ford is the image name (see below)

here is my call from an href:

<a href='javascript:change(get_pres())' >
<img class=m1 src=&quot;images/blank.jpg&quot; name=&quot;ford&quot;>
<a>

NOTE: get_pres() works fine

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean but will this help...

function change(pres_name, imgName)
{
 eval(imgName + ".src = 'images/" + pres_name + ".jpg");
}

called by...

<a href='javascript:change(get_pres(), &quot;ford&quot;);&quot;> [COLOR=blue]Klae[/color]

You're only as good as your last answer!
