Ok I have a stupid question, I don't even have a clue, how to search for a solution.

I have the following code:

code:
function InitGallery(){

	

	document.Thumb1.src = test[1].thumbnail.src

	document.Thumb2.src = test[2].thumbnail.src;

	document.Thumb3.src = test[3].thumbnail.src;

	document.Thumb4.src = test[4].thumbnail.src;

	document.Thumb5.src = test[5].thumbnail.src;

	document.Thumb6.src = test[6].thumbnail.src;

	document.Thumb7.src = test[7].thumbnail.src;

	document.Thumb8.src = test[8].thumbnail.src;

										

}



How can I acomplish the same function using a FOR loop, Now I do understand FOR loops, and when I call the the above code from my body onLoad Event it works fine. But will need to acomplish the same function with in a loop to go any farther with my gallery script. What dont understand is how to deal with setting the "document.XXXXX.src" value with in a FOR loop.

I tried something like this:

document.Thumb(i).src = test[i].thumbnail.src;

and tried treating the 8 images similar to an array:

document.Thumb[i].src = test[i].thumbnail.src;

But I couldn't get it to work.

Could some explain or give an example on how to do this,

Here is my full code if it helps:

code:
// Add your gallery images here, up to 32 Images Total:

// Example: myRecord1 = new imgRecord (imgThumbnail, imgHighres, imgDescript);



var myPath = "Images/";



test = new Array(32);



test[0] = new imgRecord ("Event_001thumb.jpg","Event_001.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[1] = new imgRecord ("Event_002thumb.jpg","Event_002.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[2] = new imgRecord ("Event_003thumb.jpg","Event_003.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[3] = new imgRecord ("Event_004thumb.jpg","Event_004.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[4] = new imgRecord ("Event_005thumb.jpg","Event_005.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[5] = new imgRecord ("Event_006thumb.jpg","Event_006.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[6] = new imgRecord ("Event_007thumb.jpg","Event_007.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[7] = new imgRecord ("Event_008thumb.jpg","Event_008.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[8] = new imgRecord ("Event_009thumb.jpg","Event_009.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[9] = new imgRecord ("Event_010thumb.jpg","Event_010.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[10] = new imgRecord ("Event_011thumb.jpg","Event_011.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[11] = new imgRecord ("Event_012thumb.jpg","Event_012.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[12] = new imgRecord ("Event_013thumb.jpg","Event_013.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[13] = new imgRecord ("Event_014thumb.jpg","Event_014.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[14] = new imgRecord ("Event_015thumb.jpg","Event_015.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[15] = new imgRecord ("Event_016thumb.jpg","Event_016.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

//end of current Listing

test[16] = new imgRecord ("Event_001thumb.jpg","Event_001.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[17] = new imgRecord ("Event_001thumb.jpg","Event_001.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[21] = new imgRecord ("Event_001thumb.jpg","Event_001.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");

test[32] = new imgRecord ("Event_001thumb.jpg","Event_001.jpg","My Image Description, Bla Bla Bla.");



function imgRecord (imgThumbnail, imgHighRes, imgDescrip){



/*Fumction builds an image record object, holding thumbnail, highres  

and image Description information; and preloads the images. */



	if (document.images){



		//Preload Thumbnail

		aThumbnail = new Image (85,60);

		aThumbnail.src = (myPath + imgThumbnail);



		//Preload Highres

		aHighRes = new Image (320,220);

		aHighRes.src = (myPath + imgHighRes);



		this.thumbnail = aThumbnail;	

		this.highres = aHighRes;

		this.descrip = imgDescrip;

	}

}



function InitGallery(){

	

	document.Thumb1.src = test[0].thumbnail.src

	document.Thumb7.src = test[6].thumbnail.src;

	document.Thumb8.src = test[7].thumbnail.src;

	document.PlaceHolder.src = test[0].highres.src;

Try this as a solution - utilising eval().

code:
function InitGallery()

{

  var _maxImages=8;

  for (var loop=1;loop<=_maxImages;loop++)

    eval("document.Thumb"+loop+".src="+test[loop].thumbnail.src)

}



You would change the _maxImages variable to contain the number of images you wish to "initialise". From your initial example I have set this to 8.

Enjoy,

I've not tried it, but I'm guessing that this will also work, and allow you to remove the use of eval - which has a latency issue attached to it:

code:
document['Thumb'+loop].src=test[loop].thumbnail.src;



However, I'd say that either syntax (with or without eval) isn't 100% cross-browser (and possibly IE-only). I'd assign your images IDs and use getElementById to remain as cross-browser, cross-platform compatible as possible.

Hope this helps,
Dan

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.
