JavaScript JS to reveal images in same place

Afternoon all,

What I need is instead of clicking the image to move to the next image I want to be able to chose to click on text "Image 1" or "Image 2" or "Image 3" to be able to be able reveal those images.

On some pages there maybe the need for just one image or up to five images.
Sometimes they may be .gig or .png files. That should be ok to to change the file types in the Var Images section ... correct ? ?

Thanks in advance,

HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script>
        var images = ['image1.jpg', 'image2.jpg', 'image3.jpg'];
        for (var j = images.length; j--;) {
            var img = new Image();
            img.src = images[j];
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
This is the test page<br />
    <img id="myButton" src="image2.jpg" width="50%"/>
<br />
Image 1   <br />
Image 2   <br />
Image 3   <br /><br />

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var i = 1; // Initialize the index for the current image

        // Add an event listener to the image
        document.getElementById('myButton').addEventListener('click', function() {
            // Toggle to the next image in the array
            this.src = images[i >= images.length - 1 ? i = 0 : ++i];
        }, false);
    </script>
</body>
</html>

Hey there.

Something like this should do it:
JavaScript: 
const images = ["image1.jpg", "image2.jpg", "image3.jpg"];
const image = document.querySelector("#image");  // or document.getElementById("image")

function switchImage(index) {
    image.src = images[index];
}
HTML: 
<img src="image1.jpg" id="image" />

<button onclick="switchImage(0)">Image 1</button>
<button onclick="switchImage(1)">Image 2</button>
<button onclick="switchImage(2)">Image 3</button>

I've thried this but it doesn't work sadly.

I also tried the following code from a youtube and that also doesn't work.

Code: 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
    
<img id="bannerImage" src="image1.jpg" width="600" />
<br />
<br />
<button onClick="changeimage('image1.jpg')">Image 1</button>
<button onClick="changeimage('image2.jpg')">Image 2</button>
<button onClick="changeimage('image3.jpg')">Image 3</button>
<button onClick="changeimage('image4.jpg')">Image 4</button>
    
    
<script>
function ChangeImage(fileName){
        let img = document.querySelector('#bannerImage');
    img.setAttribute('src',fileName);
    
}
    
</script>
</body>
</html>

Anyone with any idea?
I am using Dreamweaver as the editor and I have Xampp installed to test my code

To add:

Can this be used instead of buttons
<a href="#" onClick="changeimage('image1.jpg')">Image One</a>
<a href="#" onClick="changeimage('image2.jpg')">Image Two</a>
<a href="#" onClick="changeimage('image3.jpg')">Image Three</a>

Function names in JavaScript are case-sensitive, in the js you've defined it as ChangeImage, but in the html it's changeimage.
