Preloading images page

[rgaetos]

I'm probably a little higher than a novice in webdevelopment, and was tasked to create a website for my organization. The only webpage creating program I have access to is FrontPage. I want to make my site transition better, specifically the page tabs that is show under each page title image. I ran into some problems with creating the roll over buttons and ended up having to make a separate buttons for each tab section of the site. I was thinking of creating a entry page that will load all of the buttons before entering the site, but have little idea on how to go about it. My site is richarson.parocys.org if you want to critique it.

Try this for rollovers instead. It is a superior new technique that does not need preloading:

I couldn't see your site at the given address.

Looks like a spelling mistake: try

You may be aware that there is a specific forum for FrontPage questions her: forum256

sorry about the spelling. johnwm got it right.
I get the concept, I think. All I have to do is create 1 image button that contains all 3 button states and use the background shifting method. What would I do if my buttons are not all the same size, or with this method resize my buttons also. Please see richardson.parocys.org to see my tab buttons. I don't want to dramatically change anything, so I may still go with the preloading page, even though it's becoming less and less popular.
