I doubt that will work. There need not be anything particularly "jQueryish"
about preloading images, but if you want to stick it under $, maybe
something like:
jQuery.extend({
preloadImage: function(imagePath,callback) {
var image = new Image();
if(jQuery.isFunction(callback)) image.onload = callback;
image.src = "gfx/"+imagePath;
}
});
