Does preloading images help?

[Snake Doctor]

Does using J A V A S C R I P T to preload images on a tour page help the speed of the tour?

I have a tour that converts really good, only problem is its a pretty heavy page and I'm thinking a lot of dial up users might be backing out before the pages load.

Would using the pre-load help keep these surfers on the page longer? And does anyone have the code for this that I could cut and paste?

Maybe javawiz is to Java as CheezWiz is to cheese?

Hmmmm! I'm not taking sides but last time I checked "java" as in Javawiz didn't have jack shit to do with "Java Script". Maybe some dumb fuck chimed in a little too soon before realizing that they are fucking stupid themselves.

Java is used in cgi applications and appelets to display objects like movie players.
I'd like to see someone put Java Script in a fucking cgi-bin.

Nah, its just that his only purpose for posting on this board is to fuck with me.


Hey Fire, are you coming to the BBQ on the 5th? I need to know how much food to buy.

Ok. Sorry about that then.
I just get irritated by psuedo-genious types that actually know nothing about what's going on making post intended to belittle
someone who asks a question. I thought that was happening.

Sorry.

blackmonsters .. I accept your apology for calling me a pseudo genius and a dumb fuck..

Lenny, do a search on google, found a bunch of results for the terms "hahahahahahahahahaha preload images" but I'm not gonna try and post the code here cause it will probably fuck it up. As far as it being worthwhile to add it to your tours I have no idea.
With the bbq, I'll probably come, and I guess Bill will also, the wife will be working. I'll contact Mike this week and see if he is in town and invite him. I'l let you know definitely by wed, that will give you ample time for food amounts.
