I have been trying that. The problem is I can't seem to get the src
dynamically written to the IMG tag from JS where its timed right so
that when the IMG tag loads, it calls the right PHP page.

For example, I have this code in the middle of my page:

<!--############### Registry tracking ###################-->
<script language="javascript">
var qs = "track.php?t=true";
cookies = document.cookie.split(";");

	for(i=0;i<cookies.length;++i)
	{
		if(cookies[i].indexOf('pid') != -1)
		{
			thisCookie = cookies[i].split("=");
			qs += "&" + thisCookie[0] + "=" + thisCookie[1];

		}
	}
document.write("<img src='"+qs+"' border='0' width='0' height='0'
name='track' />")
</script>
<!--############### Registry tracking ###################-->

Unless there is something wrong with my doc write..this doesn't work.
It seems like it should. I know that the system that outputs the code
I am working with is not good, for example there are two sets of HTML
tags... but I would think this would work.
