Preload Images

Preload Images sounds useful, I would be grateful for
examples from the community where people have used it and
found it a good feature

thanks

I'm not sure what you are looking for. Remember, there is no free lunch. A
200K image is going to make your page behave like molasses in January
(northern hemisphere) whether it's 'preloaded' or not.

Where a preload is MOST useful is to prime the cache with images that are
used as rollovers on the page. That way, by the time you get to the
rollover event, the image has already been fetched and put into the local
cache. Such preloads are triggered by an "onLoad" event placed on the body
tag, so that when the page has fully loaded, the rollover images are then
fetched.

Does that help?
