Please refer to the below wiki article for an sample script on how to change images in a text area,

I think you can add all your 6images to the HTMLTextArea.Imagesthen as needed replace the HTML content on action control click

When testing the dxp attached to the article the resulting html is:<img src="Japan" style="border: 0; width: 102px; height: 100px;"/><SpotfireControl id="84ab62142ff443d1934adcd14f435664" />

Invalid src value "Japan"What am I doing wrong (I have France.png, Japan.png and Spain.png in C:Source)

Thx!

When changing the value to "Japan" in drop down throws that error

Initially it's trying to create a new image in the blank area based on my choice, it puts the name from dropdown into the src instead of substituting it with the scr value created in the images collection, so html generates an error. When i replace France with Japan it changes src="France" to src="Japan" which gives the same error. When i manually insert France.png from local drive it creates src="12eb34ae.....36b.png" instead of France.png and does not produce any errors until I run the script
