Sorry, I was dabbling in my own short-hand; the actual HTML/JavaScript
used is

<img name="image" id="image" src=pic1.gif"
onMouseOver="do***ent.getElementById('image').src='pic2.gif;'"
onMouseOut="do***ent.getElementById('image').src='pic1.gif;'" />

Now I've received word again from SBI! tech/customer sup****t, and the
instructions yesterday about "separately referencing the image files"
was meant as "upload each image file in its own dummy webpage" so that
the system recognizes the files -- apparently, even though the files
are already on the SBI! servers, they're not been seen by the system!!

Now their system is peculiar in that it's set up in some secret way
for SEO purposes...but this is a very strange consequence of that
indeed!  At least that's the best explanation I can come up with, for
why a simple image-swap occasions such weirdness on the SBI! servers
-- again, remember that it works perfectly on my end, so it's not a
matter of invalid JavaScript or something.
