Hi guys, i hope someone can help me with this problem.

The following problem are related with computer RAM,
not with loading time.

Supose i have 50 pics 600x600 pix with 1 Mb each to
load with 20x20 pix for one htm page. If the machine
have 30 Mb RAM i couldn't do that (crash) because i
need 50 Mb free RAM.

To solve this problem the classic way it's resize all
the pics 20x20 pix before load the page.

My question is ...

It's possible by html code do the following load 1 Mb
600x600 first pic, creates one pic mirror 20x20 and put
this mirror in page, unload the 1 Mb from RAM ... and
so on until last pic.

Many thanks to all.

No, it's not possible. And anyway you'll need a very good reason for telling your visitor to download 1MB image. Don't be lazy - create thumbnails instead of large images, use color optimisation to reduce file size.
Your visitors will be grateful. Otherwise, they'll just go away without waiting.
 
Hi starway, thanks for your repplie.

Let me clarifie the follow, my request it's not for online web use, but only for computer and internet use. I will use htm format for user scan images inside their folders type photo album ... and keep with original pics like their is.

It will be nice if i can scan any folder (about 200 Mb pics)
and present all of them in one single htm page ... problem it's the free RAM computer limit.

Any solution ?

Fernando
