I'm a complete newbie to jQuery.  I've been looking at and toying with
it for a few weeks, but this is my first real world attempt to
implement it.

I have a site that uses a Thawte certification image, but the image
shows up slowly at times that Thawte's server is feeling under the
weather.  Since I have no control over their script or their server--
and since the image's current position is mid-page--I'd like to be
able to just put in a placeholder and then load it after the rest of
the page is done.  (Presently, it can delay the page's loading.)

Currently (just for testing), I have tried placing a script block
inside an IDed div, and setting that script's src attribute, but the
entire page is replaced with the Thawte image.  Is what I'm after even
possible?  Or am I just going about it in the wrong way?

I've dummied up a couple of pages to show what's happening.  (So far,
I've only tested in FF 2.0.0.6.)

http://dreamwolf.us/demo/jqscript_button.php

The first page tries to load the image on ready().  Since you can't
see the page after the Thawte image takes over, I created the second
page (..._button...) to execute the same process after clicking a
button.

The "Secured by Thawte" logo requires including a script tag with an
SRC that points to an EXE on Thawte's servers.  I presume that
Thawte's scripts use either doc.write() or add a new Image() to the
parent element.  I'm honestly not sure.

Thanks in advance,
Pyro
