I am more worried about the state of the other code :-) The object
literal is a wonderful idea as it does keep everything together that
should be together.

Why do you need two variables anyways? All you need is the current
object, then you read the backgroundImage and check if it contains
_on.gif or not and replace it with .gif and vice versa.
