bbr Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Currently using this for the script :its a for loop so it's easy to expand. (saw the example on another site) var imagenames=new Array('../pics/fullshot_small2.gif');var images=new Array();function loadimages(){ for(n=0;n<imagenames.length;n++) { images[n]=new Image(); images[n].src=imagenames[n]; setTimeout('checkload('+n+')' ,n*100); }}function checkload(index){ (images[index].complete)? dispbars() : setTimeout('checkload('+index+')', 100);}function dispbars(){}window.onload=loadimages; Which is loaded into the page like this : <a href="fullshot.htm" onmouseover="document.images['b1'].src='../pics/fullshot_small2.gif'" onmouseout="document.images['b1'].src='../pics/fullshot_small.gif'"><img name="b1" src="../pics/fullshot_small.gif" border="0" width="250" height="330" alt=""></a> It seems to work fairly good so far.but i'm just curious how other people preload their images.Any better or faster alternatives?

Webworldx Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Doesn't internet explorer grab the image from the source file twice anyway, so preloading in the browser doesn't really have much effect? I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could be, but if the mouseover image is loaded by javascript. IE doesn't know it exists until you actually move your cursor there.
