So, why can't you just create a new <img> node with a src attribute? It will automatically download the image in the background, much like with AJAX. Is the problem that you want to ensure that the image is fully downloaded before you try to display it? Have you tried $(imgTag).ready(...)? (Don't know if that works or not, never tried it)
