The original author had put an XHTML strict DTD at the top of his file so I 
tried to concoct something that would validate as such; if I am not mistaken, 
inline event handlers do not.

Also, recent approaches to web design tend to separate structure, style and 
script as much as possible which is another reason not to use inline handlers.

OTOH, one could always assign the name of the image to a variable at the top of 
the script to prevent others from having to dig deeply into its bowels to point 
to a different image. And in the case of more than 1 image, I would put names 
and dimensions in an array in a separate included file and access its values 
from the script.
