JavaScript is commonly used to change the source of an image (for example, when a user clicks on or mouses over the image in question). The WM_imageSwap() function takes a reference to the original image and a URL for the new image as arguments and then changes the source of the original image to that of the new image.
Usage:WM_imageSwap(originalImage, 'newSourceUrl'); originalImage can be either of the following:
A predefined name for the image ('foo', for example, if the image tag includes name="foo"). The name should be a string, so don't forget to enclose it in quotes.
An actual object reference (such as window.top.someFrame.myImage). Note, however, that this will produce an error in IE 3 for the Macintosh if you refer to the images array. To use object references without producing errors, use document.myImage in place of document.images['myImage'].
