<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowVersion() {
	//Create a text node that contains the version number
	var o = document.createTextNode(getImageUploader("ImageUploader1").getVersion());
	
	//Insert it in the beginning of the page
	document.body.insertBefore(o, document.body.firstChild);

//...Other params...

//Add event handler
