I didn't go nuts investigating, but it looked like it preloads the images
into Javascript objects, creates links around each image, then each link has
an onmouseover/onmouseout that affects the contents of the image within the
link. Meanwhile the default for the image is incorrectly resolved to some
image that doesn't exist (I assume it's given by the user, but who knows).
Really over-complicated.
I suppose I could see the logic behind doing it, since it leaves potential
for other various options... But from my perspective, it just gives it more
things to go wrong...

Huh... So, what do you see for his UCS TIE Crawler page?
http://acpinlego.homestead.com/UCSTIECrawler.html
I assume the same thing? Could be the stylesheet definitions at the top of
the page, perhaps, as it gets set within Javascript at the document top... I
dunno... I'm rather unfamiliar with stylesheets... However, it appears that
it dynamically adjusts the stylesheet according to browser type within
Javascript. Odd.
