Javascript question involving thumbnail image click to main image

Hi, I have a javascript code that I used to replace the main image with a thumbnail image when its click. I have this instance happening in more then one place in the website. How can I get this javascript code to work with multiple parts of the website?

function ChangeImage(a) {
      document.getElementById("viewer").src = a;
  }

I would change it to the following:

function ChangeImage(a, elementID) {
      document.getElementById(elementID).src = a;
  }

The second argument, element, will take a string that is the ID of whatever you want to change.
