Trouble changing SRCs

[TheOrange]

I've encountered what seems like a bug. I use Netscape Navigator 4.6. I write code so that when a button image is clicked it changes the src of a different image, say from image1.jpg to image2.jpg. What will happen is the first time I try it out, it doesn't change the SRC, and the original image (image1.jpg) remains. If however, latter in the function I ask it to alert to me alert(document.image1.src); at the end of the function, it will change the image1 src to image2.jpg right after it alerts me. Also, henceforth, if I remove the alert everything works fine. As soon as I restart Netscape though, the problem starts all over. Doesn anybody know what is happening, I can give urls if necessary.

onClick="image1.src='image1.gif'"<br>
JavaScriptlet in the control image & the good old<br>
name=image1<br>
in the "slave" image???<br>

Alrighty it appears as if I have a stop gap solution. If, when the page is loading I do an onLoad="document.image1.src='blank.jpg'"; Which is what I wanted it to be, just blank to begin with, even though the src is already blank.jpg. Later on I can manipulate the src. Thanks for the help though. If you wanted to see what it was its at

I was trying to make it so that the little "Back" image at the top of the screen would appear when you reached the end of the 3 problem list. Keep in mind though, that this is just the skeleton of the site.
