Preloading problems

Henke · Jun 30, 2001

Is there anyone who knows how to preload your whole site (html+graphics+java-applets+javaclass) in the background and then when all is loaded show the site...? I've found lots of javascripts for preloading images and so on but it doesn't help because I've a java-applet and it seems impossible to get the java applet preloaded...

Anyone got any idea?

Thanks!

Its a bit of a fudge and i dont know if its really what your looking for or suitable but you could put the whole page in a <div> and set the style to visibility:hidden

Then all you'd need to do is run a script from an onLoad call in the body tag which changed the style of the div to show the contents something like this:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function showPage(divID)
{
document.getElementById(divID).style.visibility=&quot;visible&quot;;
}
</script>
</head>	
<body onLoad=&quot;showPage(mydiv)&quot;>
<div style=&quot;visibility:hidden&quot; id=&quot;mydiv&quot;>
all my page
</div>
</body>
</html>

This would work for IE5 and NN6 but you'd need to modify the script slightly to accomadate IE4 and NN4!

Hope this is helpful
