What a user sees is not important in this example, because the reality is always completely hidden. Look at the code a bit and you will see the point. While the code looks like it is complicated, it is mostly repeats, since I provide a facade for twelve differing <file> tags. Note that this uses an <img> tag as a facade over the top of one of those ugly browser tags people hate.
