nwhite, Thanks for the reply. Yes, the image paths are crazy, I need to talk to my mother-in-law about that whom I'm doing this for. The idea was to use the filename also as a description for the image so I wouldn't have to use a database. But that's another topic.
So there are many images for each category and I want to tile them out and hide them. When the user selects that category, the old category fades out and the new one fades in. I've gotten this to work reasonable well at http://www.kasyaccents.com/test/linda2.php. At least in Firefox but not in IE. No idea why. I think you're right though that I should wait to download the images upon a request to see those specific images. Is the 'out of memory' problem just a remnant of vast number of images or an aspect of my code? I initially thought it was too many images but it seems to work now which makes me think it was more to do with using absolute positioning. Oh well, I may never know. Thanks again for your help.
