Javascript var

[maybe]

Question.

If you are preloading images for mouseovers, can someone please let me know if the following is true. (A) will download quicker than (B) because it has a shorter var name.

(A)
var a_on = newImage();
var a_on.src = "?????.gif";
var a_off = newImage();
var a_off.src = "?????.gif";


(B)
var insurance_for_your_bus_on = newImage();
var insurance_for_your_bus_on.src = "?????.gif";
var insurance_for_your_bus_off = newImage();
var insurance_for_your_bus_off.src = "?????.gif";


Thanks

I'm with Victor, I don't think it will make a bit of difference. Tracy Dryden

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons,
For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.

it might take longer for the client to process. that probably made a difference on a 286, not on today's systems though.
