What timothyjoe said is right, why don't you join the jpg-# ?
The hash (#...) you add to the url is to avoid caching ? if so, you
should use a search (?...) instead.
That code is for images-off detection right ? What about this:
$('<img />')
.load(function(){
$('#noimages').attr("href", '/styles/gotimages.css');
})
.error(function(){
$('#noimages').attr("href", '/styles/imagefree.css');
})
.attr('href','/images/bgimage.jpg');
I hope it was indeed helpful.
Cheers
