Hi Folk and Gurus
This may help some of you (though probably not the gurus), in changing
images:
http://www.sunnysideup.co.nz/j/imageChange/
Any feedback appreciated.
That would have to be about the worse way/example of an image change
script as I have seen in a very long time.

I have changed it...

It is getting better, but, as David has already pointed out there is a lot of feature detection missing from the script. And technically speaking, it is not an image changing script anymore.
If you read a thread entitled "Script for Hiding/Un-Hiding Text On Click " (Which is almost precisely what you are doing), it shows a lot of the tests that can/need to be performed for feature detection in your script, and some of the drawbacks to several different approaches.
