isset() will not work in this case, as both cells will always be set.
I recommend you try empty() which will give you indication if the cell 
is empty or not.

$value_to_use = empty($cov[0])?$cov[1]:$cov[0];
echo "<img src='http://mroldies.net/covers/$year/".$value_to_use."'>";


IMHO it's not good to echo things, build up what you want to do and echo 
out everything when you are finished, this way you get out only what you 
want to show to the user, as you can remove parts completely if they fail.

Don't know what you mean, didn't see any such message, but I guess that 
is a question to a javascript newsgroup.
