sarmenhb · 12-03-2008, 05:38 AM

i'm trying to echo this variable to the screen

Code:

thumbs = document.getElementById("thumbnailPane").getElementsByTagName("img");

the way i am echoing the value out is i have a div named output so i did

Code:

document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = 'field: ' + thumbs;

but when i did that i get this

Code:

field: [object HTMLImageElement]

is there another way of doing it?

here is the whole peice of js code i'm using if ur interested.

Code:

window.onload = initPage;

function initPage() {
  
  thumbs = document.getElementById("thumbnailPane").getElementsByTagName("img");

  
  for (var i = 0; i < thumbs.length; i++) {
    image = thumbs[i];
	
	//myoutput:
	document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = 'field: ' + thumbs;

    image.onclick = function() {
    
      detailURL = 'images/' + this.title + '-detail.jpg';
      document.getElementById("itemDetail").src = detailURL;
	  
      getDetails(this.title);
	  
    }
  }
}

i also tried doing thumbs[i] and echoing the image variable but it shows the same output.
