I'm going to assume "bVehicle_type" is the intented ID of the img element
which you are trying to assign a src value to.

var img = document.getElementById("bVehicle_type")
var src = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("/guestbool/ROOT/jVehicletype")

if (src) img.src = '/' + src.firstChild.nodeValue

The asp page would contain:-

<img id="bVehicle_type" src="/images/spacer.gif" />

where spacer.gif is a single pixel transparent gif.

There is an assumption that the images folder is held at the root of the
site.  If not you need to ensure the url supplied from the XML to the src
attribute is correctly adjust to the base url of the page.
