Set src of a childNode?

Post by unemployment »

My last childnode is an img and is undefined according to firebug.

Can I do this?

[syntax=javascript]
this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.previousSibling.childNodes.childNodes.src = "/assets/img/icons/process.png";
[/syntax]

It would probably be easier to access the element you want by giving it an ID and using getElementById

would that be possible ?

Unfortunately that is not possible since the element is in a dynamic array

[syntax=javascript] this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.previousSibling.childNodes.childNodes.src = "/assets/img/icons/process.png";[/syntax]

Needed to be...

[syntax=javascript]
this.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.previousSibling.firstChild.firstChild.src = "/assets/img/icons/process.png";
[/syntax]

to fit my situation
