    You should be able to achieve that with jQuery, see if this helps guide you:

    Man you guys are good (fast, I mean). LOL
    But if I put that Script into my header.php and I enable an update to the Theme, it will get wiped out, right? (So I would simply put the Script back into the header.php after performing the Theme update?)
    I see this already there:

    <script type="text/javascript">
var image_url='<?php echo THEME_IMAGES;?>';
</script>

    Can I just put the referenced Script above or below this? (or where to put the above referenced Script?)

    Each theme is different really, but as long as you put this somewhere in the header, usually alongside the other scripts is generally good practice, it should work just fine.
