pre loading images

[home2me.bizhat.com]

using front page i created buttons that are just pictures with hyperlinks. As soon as you place ur cursor over the pciture the picture changes to give the impression that the button is highlighted. THe only problem is that when the user places his cursor over the button they have to wait for the second picture to load before it is displayed. Is there a way u can tell the web site to load these pictures before hand i.e. before n e thing else is loaded. I think this can be done with java script but not sure.

Use Javascript to preload images. Make sure that the JS code is not in a function because such a code will executed atleast only after the web page loads. so write the JS code with out a function.

Simple one! :)

Use this following script to preload images

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide from crappy browsers

preload1 = new Image();
preload1.src = "image1.jpg";

preload2 = new Image();
preload2.src = "image22.jpg";

// -->
</SCRIPT>

Dynamicdrive preload script works great, I've used it before and it works fine. It also has a Progress bar when preloading the images.
