Yeah, this case is a real pain. For example, what if you have different
languages and thus different-looking buttons? So sometimes the path in
the JavaScript must be .../german/button.gif and sometimes
.../english/button.gif. How do you solve this problem? Do you have
multiple copies of the Javascript?

I just use XSLT to generate the correct path to the button dynamically.
This is, of course, not an option if you also have static files. But in
my case it works, so I actually have just one Javascript, which is
dynamically transformed to suit the needs of all the different pages.
