Web Page Loads a few jpegs at a time. Can I delay to show all at

I'm working in Front Page 2003, it loads a little slow and a few pieces at a
time. Is there a way to delay the loading until it is all ready?

Also I created the buttons as jpegs, is it better to convert them to gif?

Thanks,
Liz

Can you provide a URL to this page on the internet?

you could optimize the images so they'll load faster.
I seem to remember that the "page transitions" don't fire till all the
content is loaded. you may be able to find one that isn't too obnoxious and
get by with that.

I'm new to this. Not sure what you mean about the page transitions. As far
as optimizing the images, should I convert them to .gif or just set the
resolution lower?

there are lots of tools that will compress your images. only images with
just a few colors should generally be .gif format.

what image editing tool do you use?

for the page transitions, in FrontPage hit F1 and type page transitions.
you'll get the info particular to your version of FrontPage.

Hi Liz
Your images could probably do to be compressed a bit more. A Good rule of
thumb is to use jpeg compression for continuous tone images like photos, and
gifs for things like logos where there are blocks of the same colour. It's a
play off between quality and download speed, experiment to see how far you
can compress an image before the quality diminishes.
Another problem can arise when you import an image into a website then
decide it is to big and size the image by clicking on it and draging the
corner handles to make it smaller.The image is still the same size but you
are actually just telling the browser to display it at a certain dimension,
so allways resize images in a photo editor.

you can compress and resize them with elements.
do you also have imageready with that?

No I don't have Imageready at work, but I have access to it, does it do a
good job of compression?
