How To: Preload All My Images?

[Steven Van Dyke]

Hi,

Is there a way to load all of the websites images when the page first loads?
So all the other pages come up quicker. I think I did this once by adding
them all to a page in a hidden frame. I was wondering if there is a better
way.

If you really want to do it
You can load each image w/o JavaScript using a series of "dots" at the end of a page
<img src="whatever.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1">
Or w/ a std JavaScript preload at the end of a page
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if (document.images) {
name1 = new Image(); name1.src = 'imgname1.gif';
name2 = new Image(); name2.src = 'imgname2.gif';
}
//--></script>

But remember, the page you do it in will suffer from the delay to load the images, so in the end you are not gaining anything
