Answer 1

Try this:

if (leftTD) leftTD.style.background = "url(Images/Button/button_left.gif)";

Or if you can use jQuery (whole function, not just the last line):

$('#' + strIDHead + '_list').css('background', 'url(Images/Button/button_left.gif)');

Update: Your function header is incorerct, too, unless you want an anonymous function and just forgot to copy the code where it’s assigned somewhere. The correct function would looke like this:

function someFunction(strIDHead) {
    var leftTD = document.getElementById(strIDHead + "_left");
    if (leftTD) {
        leftTD.style.background = "url(Images/Button/button_left.gif)";
    }
}
