This is BAD. What the hell did you put it on the web for in the first
place? Loads of people have jscript disabled so that is no protection
- you're just using up some parsing power of the browser (and if it's
poor IE, you have to be kind).

I'm affraid once the client has loaded the web page, cached the images
etc, you'd be denying access to data that is rightfully theirs...on
their own hard drives. NO.
