    preloading images?

    What code would I use to preload images?

    Here's what I want to do.. I have 2 popups on Wow18.com - the first one is a blur console, so the images already load before the surfer closes the window, the second one is a different tour, affiliates get paid for that popup, but its got quite a few graphics and it gets closed before people see it for the most part.

    I want to preload the images for the second pop so it will pop and be loaded already.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

      img src="path/to/your/preload_image.jpg" width="1" height="1"

      put the appropriate opening and closing brackets at the beginning and the end. I don't think you can use them on here....

        what about loading the entire page in an iframe?

        Would that work?

            Well the thing is there are quite a few images, would I still be better of just loading each of them up seperately?

              yeah i guess youll be ok just putting it in an iframe.

              Im never use iframes becauses 'in the old' days, due to
              browser incompatibilities, they caused all sorts
              of issues.

              Hook it up and tell me where to test it ;)

                I would have thought you could do this with a bit of j-a-v-a-s-c-r-i-p-t, what you need is an image preloader like this Image Preloader

                WTF is j-a-v-a-s-c-r-i-p-t edited??

                  Second pop from www.wow18.com - make sure you look the first time, it won't pop again (cookies make it only pop once)
