src of the mouse clcik

javascript question that I cant seem to figure out. Without passing the src through the tag itself <img onclick=findit(this)> how do I find what the src element and src name are through javascript... I was playing around with window.event and all I can get is window.event.target to bring up that its an HTMLImageObject. That's not what I'm looking for. I want to know the objects name so I can modify it. Any ideas?

like this?

You can toggle the name attribute too; objectID.name='image2';. And, you can also exchange name for id if you are coding XHTML.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
      <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
       <!--
         function findIt(objectID){
           alert (objectID.name);
			}
       //-->
      </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img name="image1" onclick="findIt(this);">
  </body>
</html>
