It's my first day trying javascript... and I cannot understand why I cannot load an image subject to an "IF" condition....

What is wrong with this?

<script type="text/javascript">
if ...... //I'm ok with the condition//
{
img src="gifs/xxred.gif"
}
else
{
img src="gifs/xxgreen.gif"
}
</script>

All I wan't to do is make a gif appear based on a condition....

Can anyone help me with what I'm sure is the simplest of problems..!

I'm no expert at Javascript, but I beleive if you want to show something conditionally you need to have:
document.write("<img src='gifs/xxred.gif'>");
instead of just img src="gifs/xxred.gif";

Hope this helps

<html><head>
<script>
function change()
{
if(condition)
{
document.first.src="gifs/xxred.gif"
}
else
document.first.src="gifs/xxgreen.gif"

}
</script></head><body>
<img name="first" src="xx.gif"></body></html>

Now where you have to call function change(), you have to decide.Hope this helps!
