Can you post some actual code?

As for what I think you're trying to do, ...what? JavaScript is a Client-Side language, meaning that it doesn't have access to a database, unless you start moving into AJAX, which is different.

If you want to access a database, use a language like PHP, Perl, etc.

What's the point of the onClick? I don't really follow that.

Post some code and I can be more helpful.

Yes sorry my last post was a bit ambiguous. Basically, i am using timymce and havent got the upload script to add images, so i wanted to create links from all the image paths and embed an onclick like this:

<a href="#" id="{$image['id']}" onclick="addImage(this.id)">
    <img src="{$image['path']}">
</a>
'

with the onclick insert the innerHTML of the link into the textarea so that it just inserts the whole image tag into tinymce.

However, i managed to get in to insert the path in to a textarea but with tinymce activated it doesnt work?!
