show images using javascript and CSS

Question

I have to create a javascript code which calls different images on the click of an image button. I have given names to the images as product1, product2, product3. I am new to JavaScript.

var count;
document.getElementById("divProduct").style.backgroundImage="url('images/product'+count)";

I am trying the above code, but it's not working

If you look at the syntax highlighting, + count is being treated as a string.

You put it outside of the single quotes (kind of), but you still need to put it outside of the double quotes, which are the quotes you're really using to delimit the string:

document.getElementById("divProduct").style.backgroundImage="url('images/product" + count + "')";

You are also missing the image extension. It should be .png or .jpg or something else depending on whatever type your image is.

Also I'd like to know if you are getting any errors on the console.

I was getting an undefined reference error on the console because i had not given the proper attribute to the script tag. I had typed <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> , on correcting it to <script type="text/javascript"> it worked. I was also missing the image extensions.

Your code should be like Blender said and still if it doesn't work add in you div sample:

<div id="divProduct">&nbsp;</div>

I think it must be like;

var count;
document.getElementById("divProduct").style.backgroundImage="url('images/product" + count + ".jpg')";
