Starry eyed DHTML experimentation was popular around 1995. When
the bold experimenters presented their wares to visitors more than a
decade ago, and visitors rejected them on all but art-experiment sites.
You're not breaking the mold, you're re-inventing the square wheel.
Spend your time learning CSS, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby. The age of cutesy
JavaScript experiments is long gone.

How usable is your site on _those_ devices?

As a matter of fact I already have all the images
and they are sitting in my browser's cache. Didn't have to do a thing
to get it there except visit the site. And it will be there until I
decide to clear my cache. You haven't protected anything, just irritated
visitors.
