Thanks for joining the discussion.  I like the simplicity of your  
approach.  The only downside is that if javascript is turned off, but  
css is on, the image will never be seen.

My original attempt was to put the image inside a noscript tag and  
use javascript to extract the contents, and remove the noscript tag.   
Unfortunately, some browsers don't write the noscript contents into  
the dom tree.  So much for plan a!

The script has gotten more complicated than I like because I'm trying  
to make sure the image always loads, no matter if css or js is on or  
off.


Hope that makes sense.
