How can I change the src
attribute of an img
tag using javascript?
With the snippet you provided (and without making assumptions about the parents of the element) you could get a reference to the image with
document.querySelector('img[name="edit-save"]');
and change the src with
document.querySelector('img[name="edit-save"]').src = "..."
so you could achieve the desired effect with
var img = document.querySelector('img[name="edit-save"]');
img.onclick = function() {
this.src = "..." // this is the reference to the image itself
};
otherwise, as other suggested, if you're in control of the code, it's better to assign an id
to the image a get a reference with getElementById
(since it's the fastest method to retrieve an element)
You can use both jquery and javascript method: if you have two images for example:
<img class="image1" src="image1.jpg" alt="image">
<img class="image2" src="image2.jpg" alt="image">
1)Jquery Method->
$(".image2").attr("src","image1.jpg");
2)Javascript Method->
var image = document.getElementsByClassName("image2");
image.src = "image1.jpg"
For this type of issue jquery is the simple one to use.
its ok now
function edit()
{
var inputs = document.myform;
for(var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++) {
inputs[i].disabled = false;
}
var edit_save = document.getElementById("edit-save");
edit_save.src = "../template/save.png";
}
In this case, as you want to change the src
of the first value of your element, you have no need to build up a function. You can change this right in the element:
<a href='#' onclick='this.firstChild.src="../template/save.png"')'>
<img src="../template/edit.png" id="edit-save"/>
</a>
You have several ways to do this. You can also create a function to automatize the process:
function changeSrc(p, t) { /* where p: Parent, t: ToSource */
p.firstChild.src = t
}
Then you can:
<a href='#' onclick='changeSrc(this, "../template/save.png");'>
<img src="../template/edit.png" id="edit-save"/>
</a>
if you use the JQuery library use this instruction:
$("#imageID").attr('src', 'srcImage.jpg');
<img src="../template/edit.png" name="edit-save" onclick="this.src = '../template/save.png'" />
