Hello again:

Off the top of my head I think the style approach works in IE 4+ and maybe
NN4+, but you're correct, it won't work in old browsers.

On the & thing, your query string will work if you encode the & as &amp;,
e.g.:

<a href="http://www.something.com/status?username=xyz&amp;abc=pqr"><img 
src="something"></a>

Your &amp; will be interpreted as an "&".
