javascript - Change an image with onclick()

Question

I want to change an image to some other image when i click on the object. the code is stacked in the following order:

<li><img><some text></img></li>
<li><img><some text></img></li>
<li><img><some text></img></li>
<li><img><some text></img></li>
<li><img><some text></img></li>

What I wish to do is, when I click on the <li> i want to change the image to a coloured version of the image, i.e. some other image. Now, I know I can use JQuery/JS to accomplish it. But I don't want a huge amount of JS code to accomplish something so simple.

Can it be done using something simpler? Like pseudo selectors? .active class?

I cannot seem to think of it.

To change image onclik with javascript you need to have image with id:

<p>
        <img alt="" src="http://www.userinterfaceicons.com/80x80/minimize.png" 
            style="height: 85px; width: 198px" id="imgClickAndChange" onclick="changeImage()"  />
</p>

Then you could call javascript function when image is clicked:

<script language="javascript">
    function changeImage() {

        if (document.getElementById("imgClickAndChange").src == "http://www.userinterfaceicons.com/80x80/minimize.png") 
        {
            document.getElementById("imgClickAndChange").src = "http://www.userinterfaceicons.com/80x80/maximize.png";
        }
        else 
        {
            document.getElementById("imgClickAndChange").src = "http://www.userinterfaceicons.com/80x80/minimize.png";
        }
    }
</script>

This code will set image to maximize.png if current img.src is set to minimize.png and vice versa. For more details visit: Change image onclick with javascript link
