EDIT: solution some lines above.
I'm trying to have bouncing pictures with html5, canvas and some jQuery. I've successfully made some balls bouncing, but I can't figure out how to draw pictures instead of simple 'particles'.
I've tried in different ways, but actually I think I'missing something. I post the whole html so you can just copy/paste it easily.
Under my try there is a commented section with working bouncing balls.
Thank you so much!

EDIT WITH SOLUTION: First, thanks to markE
I edited the code as he said, the problem was actually about timing (and understanding what I was doing). His answer really helped me a lot.
The image was not moving because I didn't told it to do that actually ( with ctx.drawImage(img, this.x, this.y)).
NOTE: For debugging canvas rendering with chrome take a look at HTML5 canvas inspector?
So here is the working (and ultra commented, thanks for the lesson markE) code for bouncing troll faces (put a troll1.png picture in the same folder):
