The document object has several important subobjects including Anchor, Applet, Area, Form, Image, and Link
|
|
It also has arrays anchors, applets, forms, images, and links holding all occurrences of these objects for a particular document
|
|
We have already illustrated Form and Link; here we look at Image
|
|
The tag <IMG NAME="fred" SRC="jim.gif"> in an HTML file generates an object document.fred of type Image with property document.fred.src="jim.gif"
|
|
One can preload an image using the statement:
|
|
image1 = new Image(); image1.src = "henry.jpg";
|
|
and then change an image in the document using:
|
|
document.fred.src = image1.src;
|
|
Note the image is fetched from cache, so this is fast!
|
|
This technique can be used for animated images, for example
