Is there simple way to show image when mouseover text..
Like :

Code:
<span onmouseout=this.src='' onmouseover=this.src=image.jpg>text</span>

it obviously won't work,but it was example for what i want.
How can i replace 'span' with 'img' and then use 'this.src'?

you can use javascript of vbscript or somthing similar, yes. HTML is a static language and cannot calculate mathematical forumlae or perform animation or anything else (im sure there is a word to describe its limitation, though i cannot think off-hand).

Enter the world of javascript ;)
 
This is very simple using CSS.

Put this in your theme/sites CSS file.
Code:
<style type="text/css">

/*Credits: Dynamic Drive CSS Library */
/*URL: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/ */

.thumbnail{
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
}

.thumbnail:hover{
background-color: transparent;
z-index: 50;
}

.thumbnail span{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
position: absolute;
background-color: lightyellow;
padding: 5px;
left: -1000px;
border: 1px dashed gray;
visibility: hidden;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}

.thumbnail span img{ /*CSS for enlarged image*/
border-width: 0;
padding: 2px;
}

.thumbnail:hover span{ /*CSS for enlarged image on hover*/
visibility: visible;
top: 0;
left: 60px; /*position where enlarged image should offset horizontally */

}

</style>

Here's the html
Code:
<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="media/tree_thumb.jpg" width="100px" height="66px" border="0" /><span><img src="media/tree.jpg" /><br />Simply beautiful.</span></a>

<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb"><img src="media/ocean_thumb.jpg" width="100px" height="66px" border="0" /><span><img src="media/ocean.jpg" /><br />So real, it's unreal. Or is it?</span></a>

<br />
<br />

<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb">Dynamic Drive<span><img src="media/dynamicdrive.gif" /><br />Dynamic Drive</span></a><br />
<a class="thumbnail" href="#thumb">Zoka Coffee<span><img src="media/zoka.gif" /><br />Zoka Coffee</span></a>
