Dear Andreas,

Thanks for your reply. For the record:

You stated that i need to use IMG_RESOURCE instead of IMAGE and 
lastImgResourceInfo instead of lastImageInfo, but they both work.

You also stated the following (which is more interesting) :

" ... only if the IMG_RESOURCE is placed somewhere on the page)"

My question was, that I'd like to know is how to access the 
lastImageInfo object of the generated image, without having to output 
the actual image as a HTML element.

I'm guessing that you're saying that this is not possible and that I 
allways have to output the image with something like

...
page.234 < temp.headerImage
...

Kind regards
