Interesting idea Cherry,
Have you noticed whether the imagefree.css starts to load anyway
before the href is changed to gotimages.css? (I'd expect the if-
statement to run before the load() callback function). In IE you
could try the error event as the alternative condition. Can't remember
what the alternative would be in FF etc. Also, to save on markup
could you use a closure for your imagecheck value instead of an
element? (eg: var imagecheck = false; at the start of your imagesOn
function)
Just some initial thoughts. Cheers,
George
