I'm stuck on something.

I'm creating a new Image as a placeholder to get the width / height before I set the dimensions of a Node that I'm switching out.

The first time you click on the link, the dimensions are not set, but if you click on it a second time it works.

I was using alerts to test this, and if I do 2 alerts in a row the second one will have the dimensions.

Am I missing something here?

Here is a link to the page in question....

Here is the culprit......
function replaceImageNode(id, element){
var img = document.getElementById(id);

temp_img = new Image;
temp_img.src = element;

var i = img.cloneNode(true);
i.src=element;
i.width = temp_img.width;
i.height = temp_img.height;

var parent = img.parentNode;
parent.replaceChild(i, img);
return i;
}

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this out and let you know how it works....
