[javascript] Adding images to an HTML document with javascript

I've tried some HTML DOM code from several sites, but it isn't working. It isn't adding anything. Does anyone have a working example on this?

this.img = document.createElement("img");
this.img.src = "img/eqp/"+this.apparel+"/"+this.facing+"_idle.png";
src = getElementById("gamediv");
src.appendChild(this.img)

But it isn't adding anything to the div. (gamediv) I've tried document.body as well, with no result.

Thanks in advance.

The answer is


Get rid of the this statements too

var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "img/eqp/"+this.apparel+"/"+this.facing+"_idle.png";
src = document.getElementById("gamediv");
src.appendChild(this.img)

With a little research i found that javascript does not know that a Document Object Exist unless the Object has Already loaded before the script code (As javascript reads down a page).

<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function insert(){
            var src = document.getElementById("gamediv");
            var img = document.createElement("img");
            img.src = "img/eqp/"+this.apparel+"/"+this.facing+"_idle.png";
            src.appendChild(img);
        }
     </script>
 </head>
 <body>
     <div id="gamediv">
         <script type="text/javascript">
             insert();
         </script>
     </div>
 </body>

or you can just

<script> 
document.write('<img src="/*picture_location_(you can just copy the picture and paste   it into the script)*\"')
document.getElementById('pic')
</script>
<div id="pic">
</div>

Things to ponder:

  1. Use jquery
  2. Which this is your code refering to
  3. Isnt getElementById usually document.getElementById?
  4. If the image is not found, are you sure your browser would tell you?

This works:

var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = 'img/eqp/' + this.apparel + '/' + this.facing + '_idle.png';
document.getElementById('gamediv').appendChild(img)

Or using jQuery:

$('<img/>')
.attr('src','img/eqp/' + this.apparel + '/' + this.facing + '_idle.png')
.appendTo('#gamediv');
