I've had to do something like this before, and IIRC the trick winds up being that you can't change an src attribute of an image that's part of the DOM tree. So your best bet is to write your HTML skeleton without the image and 1)create an onLoad function that generates a new img element with document.createElement, 2) set the src attribute with setAttribute(), and 3) attach it to your DOM tree.
