Answer 1

Assuming that bigPic is in fact the ID of an img tag, you are going to want to do document.getElementById('bigPic') instead of using #bigPic.

You are mixing the CSS selector that you'd use in jQuery or CSS (i.e., $('#bigPic')) with plain javascript. Using the getElementById function, you're already saying you're looking for something by the ID.
