setting the order that graphics get loaded/displayed?

taval · Oct 15, 2000

my subject basically says it all, I was wondering how on my web page I make graphics like the title, buttons get load before the actual content. Is there a way of doing this?

my site is located at

http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~du216/

and as you can see the graphics load in any order. I want the title to load first then the buttons one by one and then the other content.

Grateful for any help. [sig][/sig]

This should do it:

Code:

<head>
<title>your site</title>

<script>
var image1 = new Image(); image1.src = &quot;image1.gif&quot;;
var image2 = new Image(); image2.src = &quot;images/image2.jpg&quot;;
</script>

</head>

Then when you load

Code:

<img src=&quot;image1.gif&quot;>

or

Code:

<img src=&quot;images/image2.jpg&quot;>

, it should be already cached on the user's computer. [sig] Sincerely, <a href=mailto: > </a> <a href=
