i want to convert elem.src to string, String(elem.src); not working

elem.src is already a string, you can assign it to another string object or if you still have doubts, you can use .toString() method — Prashant Lakhlani

It's already a string. You could also try:

var srcString = new String(elem.src);

but it is unnecessary.

You can already use the source as a string.

alert( document.getElementById("img1").src ); // images/yourimage.extn

You can set it too:

function GetSrc(elem) {
  elem.src = "http://kol.coldfront.net/thekolwiki/images/c/ca/String.gif";
}

It is a string itself. No need to again convert to string.

alert ( typeof(elem.src) );

will give you a string
