Wow, that's a lot of work ! Wouldn't it make more sense to either : 

1) Use an 1(or n-) pixel high image then modify the height attribute
of the img tag, or 

2) Use CSS and have the img as the background-image property of the
html element. Then set background-repeat: repeat-y in the CSS to make
it tile? http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_background-repeat.asp

Either way then you just have one image to work with and for the users
browser to load. Just a thought .... 

I did this once, and used DHTML to add a 'baseline' and 'cap' image to
make it "look-3D".
