I wanted to write a script that can preload all images in a table on a photo gallery page as it takes way too long for all of them to load one by one when you go to this page. I thought if i give an "onload" command to the home page, the photo gallery page would preload in cache, and populate, so when the user clicks on this page, all the images would already be in the table...Suggestions?

Yup, go search google. Many of us could write out a solution and explain it to you line-by-line, but this exact script has been written about a bajillion times. You'll find plenty of options on google.

Thanx kaht for your reply...I would not have asked the forum if I could've found it elsewhere. Don't know about you, but when I search "preload images" on Google, I don't get much in return...Some related code, but not at all what I need.I will keep searching.
That's because you're leaving out one key element in your search terms:
[google]javascript preload images[/google]
That will give you boatloads of examples.
