html - Javascript function return src path

Question

I'm trying to set an 'src' by calling a javascript function that returns the path like so:

<img src="getImagePath()" />

the function:

function getImagePath(){

     return "images/image1.png";

}

But it doesn't seem to work. Anything I'm missing? Thanks to anyone pointing me in the right direction.

Answer 1

The src attribute takes an URL, not JavaScript. You might want to try

<img src="pixel.gif" onload="this.onload=null; this.src=getImagePath();" />
