How do I preload images?

[poplarman]

I've copied scripts down from other sites and incorporated them into my pages. The result seems to be - no difference!!

Do preload scripts work - if so, what am I doing wrong?

I have a number of rollover images on my index page and it would be of great advantage to have the underlying images already downloaded. Can anyone show me a simple script to preload:

a.gif, b,gif, c.gif etc... even before the cursor moves over the href?

What about copyright issues?

>>Do preload scripts work
Yes, they do

>>what am I doing wrong?
Hmm.. A week ago I wrote a script, but it isn't working. What am I doing wrong?
Can you give me an answer? You ask the same thing.

This is what needed for preloading images:
<script>
im1 = new Image();
im1.src = &quot;picture_on.gif&quot;;

im2 = new Image();
im2.src = &quot;picture_off.gif&quot;;

im3 = new Image();
im3.src = &quot;photo_on.gif&quot;;

im4 = new Image();
im4.src = &quot;photo_off.gif&quot;;

// here goes all image swapping functions and other
</script>
