Note that setting the image src will not change the size of your image. Since you didn't specify it in your <img...> tag, and you didn't specify an image, perhaps it is 0x0, so when you change the src you still don't see it. If all you images are the same size, try set the height and width properties in the <img...> tag, or show one of the pictures as default. (If all your images are not the same size, then once you get this working, you will need to add more code to adjust the height or width, else you images will distort)

Note that you don't need the "new image", you can just do:

.....imagemain.src="images_europe/" + "randoMe_big" + ".jpg";

var img_name= "not-found-image";

var the_arg = window.location.search.substring(1,5);
// read the first 4 characters after the? of the URL

if (the_arg == "name")
{
img_name= window.location.search.substring(6);
// get the name of the image, ie the chars after the 'name='
}
