Do mouseovers need to download before being clicked on?

[freddyboy]

Here's a simple one I hope.&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to know if I create a menu page that utilizes mouseovers to link to other pages <br>&nbsp;(I'm using text to graphic rollover link)&nbsp;&nbsp;will all the graphic mouseovers need to download in cache before the page can be used.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or will the rollover graphic download only until the visitor clicks on the mouseover?

howdy chief<br><br>ok, the link for these rollovers will still work but the graphics files will obviously have to concrete in cache before they can be displayed. for that, just make sure the files, if possible, are in gif format so that they can be easily and quickly downloaded. but dont sweat the link, it will run smooth as buttah!!<br><br>cheers,<br>lithium<br><A HREF="mailto:moronbrother69@hotmail.com">moronbrother69@hotmail.com</A>

here's a trick for instant swapping : place the swap image in invisible part of homepage so that at first loading of page, all buttons or links are ready to shine instantly..<br><br>Hope this helps<br>Colin Taylor
