Hi Benjamin.
I would like to put visibility: hidden in my css for the elements
(it's thirty something divs with an image set as background) and then
use jQuery to display them. But so far I haven't had any success with
that approach - it only works if I set the css to display:none. By
doing so the browser won't download the images until the style is
changed (which is what jQuery does) but that looks awful in IE6. I
thought about just turning it off if it's IE6 (it's just eye candy)
but I'm not sure how to distinguish between IE6 and IE7. Sadly jQuery
only offers $.browser.msie. I've been digging in Ext to see how they
do it but only found isIE flag code. And I'm running out of time
so... :-( puh I'm gonna grab another cup of coffee..
Do you think it would work if I use
<div style="position:absolute;left:-2000px;>
<img src="path to image"/>
</div>
instead of background images?
