Using the method below to preload images, I have a simple question:
The same variable (in this case 'img') is being used for all preloaded
images.
Img.src is used to tell the browser to make a call to the server to fetch
the image
What if the connection to the server is slow (or the image is large) - does
the script wait until the image is loaded before continuing or is there a
chance that the variable will be overwritten (because of the loop) and its
source set to the next image before the first image is fully downloaded?
I use this script and it works fine, but I would like to find out if a
potentially slow client might have different results.
Thanks.
