That's not really the relevant factor. That's a "how" answer, not a
"what". I don't care that it "changes the content of the attribute src
of img" - I care instead about _why_ it does that.
Is this changing the _content_ of the list? Or is it changing the
presentation of one element of the list? In particular I don't care
whether it's "changing the src attribute" or if it's "calling some
random JavaScript" or "submitting a seaerch form"
If the image you're changing is the image that "represents the content
of the list" then the button goes outside.
If the image you're changing is "photo #1 of #5 for this item" then it
goes inside the list.
Also (as a side issue) just changing the src attribute might not be
enough. What about captions, alt ot title properties too?
