var srctext = _image("SAVE CHANGES").src; why can't I

if
_log(_image("SAVE CHANGES").src); Show the source path of the image

why can't I set it to a variable

var srctext = _image("save").src;

I get error TypeError: _sahi._image("SAVE CHANGES") is null

but the log function is proving both that the _image() is not null, and that _image().src returns something.

    You need to proceed the variable with a "$".

    example:

    var $srctext = _image("save").src;

    I am not to sure on the difference from
    var variablename
    and
    var $Variablename
    I have seen and used both methods of syntax so far in sahi

    But in this case
    var srctext = _image("SAVE CHANGES").src; <--- will just error out
    var $srctext = _image("SAVE CHANGES").src; <---will set $srctext to null

    neither of which gets me to the actual text of the source of the image

    But like I said the _log(_image("SAVE CHANGES").src); will correctly show the text of the image src=""

    Try this to get around the setting to null issue when it is a $ var.

    var $srctext = "";
    _set($srctext, _image("SAVE CHANGES").src);

    Thank you C.J that works for me.

    From http://sahi.co.in/w/sahi-script-and-javascript
    Prefix a $ sign before variables which are passed to sahi functions.

    var $name = "karthik"; _setValue(_textbox("userName"), $name);
