preloading images question

firestormer · 08-Jul-2008, 12:06 PM #1

I have a website that has different boarders depending upon the section you are in. Those boarders are made up of 8 small png's.

If i where to add the png's of a another section hidden at the end of a pages html. Would they load and be stored in the browsers cache thus speeding up the rendering of the next page?

If this is possible how can i achive it.

Ok im part the way there. I can preload images using Java script but is it possible to preload after the body?

Yep. You can do it with JavaScript (as you have learned) or CSS.

Peace...

What do you mean "after the body"? Do you mean after the page fully loads?

after the page is loaded i want it to load preload images from other pages that the user is most likely to visit.

If you are using JavaScript and put the pre-loading of images in a function, you can call that function with the 'onload' event handler, like this:

Code:

<body onload="preloadImages()">

Then, your JavaScript function is called after the page has loaded. Of course, you change "preloadImages" to the name of your actual JavaScript function.

Peace...
