And yet another iteration :D Hopefully this one doesn't cut off parts
of the code.

document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {
        $('main').update('<img src="shared/images/ajax-loader.gif"
width="100" height="100" alt="Ajax Loader">');
        var counter = 0;
        var links = $$("div#thumbs a").each(function(link) {
                new Element('img').observe("load",function() {
                        if (++counter == links.size()) {
                                $('main').update('<img src="' + links[0] + '" 
/>');
                        }
                }).writeAttribute('src', link);
        }).invoke('observe', 'click', function(event) {
                event.preventDefault();
                $('main').update('<img src="' + this.href + '" />');
        });
});
