Question

I’m new to javascript and I’m trying to learn.
I’d like my webpage to dynamically show an image from another parent site based on the actual data.
I tried to create the function to get the variables I need in order to get the image at the correct url
I read Variable for img src= but I got lost, then I tried to do something like this

function LoadPage() { 
var today = new Date(); 
var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); 
var mm = (today.getMonth()+ 1); 
var dd = (today.getDate(); 

img.src = "http://www.parentsite.com/"+yyyy+"_"+mm+"_"+dd+"/images.png"();
}

</script>

Could anyone please help me with this?
Thank you

Answer 1

function LoadPage() { 
var today = new Date(); 
var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); 
var mm = (today.getMonth()+ 1); 
var dd = today.getDate(); 
var url = "http://www.parentsite.com/"+yyyy+"_"+mm+"_"+dd+"/images.png";
alert(url);
document.getElementById("img").setAttribute("src",url);
}

Assuming your image tag has the id img, the alert line should tell you wether you are setting up your image path correctly
