  Try to have not same name for name/id and for JS object

because :
it is not 'href' but 'src' that calls image file <img SRC="file.jpg">

   newsTab.document.getElementById("newsTab");
   newsTab.src = "latestTabClosed.gif";
or
   newsTab.document.images["newsTab"];
   newsTab.src = "latestTabClosed.gif";
or
  document.images["newsTab"].src = "latestTabClosed.gif"
or
  document.getElementById("newsTab").src = "latestTabClosed.gif";
