Loading Images in HTML
Hello everyone,

I use preloading of images for rollovers.

Is there any trick/tip for ensuring that the page images load before the rollover images? Will this vary depending on the browser used?

I've looked everywhere for advice on this one with no luck, so I'm hoping one of you guys can help?

Its definatly possible, although it will vary from browser - to - browser. Have a look at the javascript sites, stuff like http://www.javascript.com, http://www.codebeach.com and http://www.javascripts.com. Have a look there for 'preload' , 'images' or 'rollover'. They should have code there that you can hack to suite your images ;)

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tips Andy.

I searched the sites but not much joy. I then did a Google search and found advice that seems to make sense and works OK for my html pages.

The advice was to place the Preload Images Javascript at the end of the html page just before </BODY> so that it would be executed after the rest of the page.


Thanks again.
