The only solution for 'complex' javascript routines 
(that is, routines which dynamically load images using 
string expressions) is to add in the source final URLs 
which will be detected by the engine. For example:

preload1=new Image();
preload1.src=fooimages/foo.gif';
preload2=new Image();
preload2.src='barimages/foo2.gif';

Of course the webmaster will have to modify its 
sources so that it can work.

But remember that javascript is also sometimes used to 
avoid offline browsers, and NO offline browser is able 
to parse complex javascript code. Even if you merge 
the Mozilla code into a spider engine (which may 
generate a 10MB program..) there will be other 
problems, such as interacting with the user (a mouse 
click, wrapped by javascript, can be used to decypher 
an URL)

Therefore, if webmasters create websites hostile to 
spiders, there is no solution - even for indexing them 
(how many search engines are crawling into javascript 
and/or java?...)
