The real disadvantage of this implementation is the number of independent graphics that need to be downloaded; four for each button (three button states and a help text), plus the 'blank' LCD panel and the right-hand endcap. The graphics in this example are relatively small, having been saved as JPEGs, but one of the factors that slows down page loading is the overhead of making connections, so the sheer number of graphics used may make this technique unsuitable except when you can be certain of good connectivity, or you can make intelligent use of cacheing. You could also leave out the 'onClick' handler and associated images, which would reduce the number of distinct images that need to be downloaded at no great aesthetic cost.
Functions: When an image is clicked, this script will show
the image URL in a textbox. Useful for cases
where you want others to be able to copy the
image address easily for linking... such as for
banners, logo graphics, etc. A single instance
of the script can be attached to any number of
images in the page.
