	Unfortunately, the document object in JavaScript does not give 

you access to table items and currently supports anchor, applet, area, 

form, image, layer, link, and plugin.  You also have bgcolor, fgcolor, 

linkColor, alinkColor, and vlinkColor, as well as lastModified, cookie, and 

referrer, if one is present.

	It would be nice to be able to set document.background (where 

background is an image, but unfortunately this isn't 'settable'.), 

	It is possible (I've never needed to try this), I think, to do 

accomplish something like this where your flash plugin may reside on a 

separate CSS id, hover it above a different ID containing an image, and 

dynamically change that using document[imgName].src = newImage.src or 

whatnot.  You wouldn't need to use tables at all, but it wouldn't really 

be cross platform since older browsers don't support the new DOM.  Hey!  

A situation where dHTML and Flash co-exist ! :)

	Something to think about...
