Seems the headline got chopped off, so could describe the problem again?

Hey, so i want to change image whenever i press a button

xy = 0 -> if = true and the image changes, at the end it sets xy = 1 and the next time i click the button if = false cause xy is 1 not 0 and skips to else vica verse

You logic is off. xy will be 0 every time the button is clicked since you set it to 0 in the beginning of the function.

Then maybe you shouldn't use Windows paths and they shouldn't contain spaces.

That xy thing can be avoided. Look up getAttribute().

An example...

CODE

function switchIt()
{
   if (document.getElementById('foo').getAttribute('src') === 'a.jpg')
       document.getElementById('foo').setAttribute('src', "b.jpg");
   else
       document.getElementById('foo').setAttribute('src', "a.jpg");
}

getAttribute('src') will return the URL to the image that's actually loaded while if you used just getElementById('foo').src the URL that's printed in the source would be ruturned.

Sorry, I didn't bother to change to the names you use for the function and id.

Then you've come a long way. I didn't even dare to look at JavaScript until the fourth day.
