When writing with JavaScript, I am using a varaible ( tempvar ), and am
making a string from it using another numerical variable ( number ) to
make a piece of coding which I wish to use in the javascript code
( tempvar = "document.img" +number +".src=picture.gif" )

so that the value of 'temp var' will be in the form of
"document.img1.src=picture.gif" , or whatever the value of 'number' is at
the time... I then wish to use this string in the code, how can i do this ?

I have tried "document.write(tempvar)" and "return(tempvar)" and just simply
"tempvar", but they just write the string to the page, instead of sticking
the string in the coding to act as code and be manipulated.....I would be
appreciative if anyone could help me with this, if so, please send any
suggestions or tips to adam@ballarat.starway.net.au .... thanks
