Why not just:
<img src="http://url_for_your_static_map"; />
For help determining what "url_for_your_static_map" should be, see the  
static maps api documentation, of course. It's basically just a guide  
as to what parameters should be posted to the static maps server. Very  
straightforward stuff, no JS involved. No need to over-complicate!
