It's the src DOM property of the <img> element that it's dealing with.

so, what the function and why can it use in javascript?
@dramasea - I don't follow the question, can you clarify a bit?
you are simply setting an element's property like you would with any property, in this case src is the source of an image. But as everyone said, it is simply a specific dom property that you can access. "src" is not a function but a property name of the object "img"
so the above function is to grab the following image with id imgid and change the source to source that specify?Thanks
@dramasea - yup, that's exactly what it's doing :)

It maps onto the src attribute of the img element. (Although this is DOM rather than JS)
