For starters, no, Javascript object names can't start with a numeric
character . So your names will cause problems.
Also, I can't tell from the out-of-context code snippet in your post if there
is in fact an object (form, window, whatever) called "main" in your
document... if not, then you'll certainly get an error such as the one
above.
I'd suggest using the tried-and-true technique of using eval to, in effect,
"create a new image object" each time a user clicks a link:
function turn_on(image_number){
if (document.images){
image1on= new Image(); image1on.src = "../images/bullet_black_dot.gif";
image2on= new Image(); image2on.src = "../images/bullet_black_dot.gif";
//etc
document[image_number].src = eval(image_number + "on.src")
}
}
[...]
<a href="whatever.html"
onclick="turn_on('image1')"><img name="image1" src="../images/spacer2.gif">one
</a><br>
Etc.

Hope this helps.
