instead of document.talkIM G.src, try document.getEle mentById(" ;talking"< img src=http://www. allsyntax.com/f orums/images/sm ilies/wink.gif border=0>.src -- i think document.talkin g.src may also work, but getElementById( ) is recommended.

also, i'm not sure what purpose your talks variable serves -- couldn't you just set the src of the actual img tag without putting it in a separate variable first?

Thanks, though I tried the getElementById before and it didn't work. I have one image that I need to turn to another image than back to its original image.

I want to make the webpage to talk back to the user. I have a robotic face gif, that just bobbles around when nothing is done. But when you click on something, lets say TIME, I need the gif image to change to the animated talking robotic face gif. Than I after the time is finished to switch back to the non-talk gif.

I finished all the talking with user interactions, voices, etc, this is the last step just getting a image to turn on and off when the webpage is talking.
